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. 

Dry with fleshy red plum flavours and a savoury grippy note, thanks to the Greek red grape, Agiorgitiko, which is used to make this wine. Agiorgitiko ("Ah-yee-or-yee-teek-o") is the most planted red grape in Greece and it provides red currants and fresh flavours in this interesting, refreshing rose.   

If the word Robola doesn't ring any bells, that's because it's from the relatively remote Greek Ionian islands, such as Kefalonia, the fifth largest of all the country's islands and home to this super fresh, dry, full bodied white.

The Famed red varietal wine from Greece Xinomavro, makes for some of the most complex red wines in the world, medium bodied, perfumed & earthy, like if Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir had crossed.

Tastes of black cherries, dried rose petals, oregano, whilst having softer tamer tannins for a Xinomavro.

Some 60% of the grapes fermented spontaneously in open top amphora with the rest in 500 litre oak barrels. After blending, all the wine went into amphora to spend an additional 10 months ageing on its lees before being bottled unfiltered.

 Wines was founded in late 2015 by Nikos Karatzas and friends and it is the most recently established winery in the region of Drama, in northern Greece. Their main production is from Greek grape varieties, mostly from Macedonia.
