The 2022 vintage of Monopati Aivalis Winery sold out in the blink of an eye, as it was both exceptional and limited production.
Yes, we know—you might not have managed to get your hands on this top-tier Nemea wine either. But Christos Aivalis is generous and gracious, and he released a few bottles of the 2021 vintage from his personal cellar, just for you. If you also believe that Monopati is one of the best Agiorgitiko wines out there, then this is an opportunity you shouldn’t miss.
The vineyard named Monopati, located in the Nemea appellation, is home to vines that are now over 50 years old. Their age, combined with the rocky soil, is what yields the perfect, ripe, and concentrated fruit every year.
With careful vinification following French standards and aging for 16 months in French oak barrels, the result is an Agiorgitiko that, in structure and concentration, resembles a hybrid of Bordeaux’s Cabernet Sauvignon and Amarone. We’re talking about a wine with titanic structure and depth. Christos and Sotiris Aivalis have accustomed us to miracles with Nemea’s great grape variety, so yes—we expected nothing less from their hands.
This is one of those wines where even a six-pack of the 2021 Monopati from Aivalis Winery won’t feel like enough! You don’t come across wines like this often—and you know it!
