Powerful, dry, lemony and richly full bodied. This is one of two exceptionally tasty, characterful Greek wines made from the Robola grape variety. These are exciting whites made entirely from the Robola, which grown mostly on the Ionian Islands in Greece, particularly Kefalonia (the fifth largest of all Greek islands), Zakynthos, Kerkyra (Corfu) and others. 

The best Robolas are full bodied wines with  naturally high acidity which provides beautiful balance. With aging, this wine will develop complex flavours of chamomile, caramelized pear, fresh almond and honey with a long aftertaste of mineral sage and celery.

Kefalonia is just south of the more famous island of Corfu to the west of the Pelopponese peninsula and the soils combined with the altitude (up to 900 metres above sea level) are diverse, resulting in a range of different styles of wines. 

About the Petrakopoulos winery

Petrakopoulos winery is located near to Thiramonas in the south of Kefalonia. Its grapes are grown on Mt Ainos and nearby and the winery is housed in a small villa, run by winemaker Kiki Siameli. 

This is an outstanding white and we also have a lower priced, exceptionally nice Robola, a younger sibling to this wine.
