"Orina Armakia" from the Petrakopoulos winery in Kefalonia is a wine that catches the eye and excites the senses. We doubt that anyone can try it and is not surprised by the tangible touch of the Ionian and the best vineyards, of the most mountainous island of the Ionian Islands.
We have said before that Robola can now easily get into a bras de fer with Assyrtiko of the Cyclades and the score can be easily lost. Kefalonia has a huge wine history and as time passes it continues to show us its greatness.
The Petrakopoulos winery, for many years, has been making all of the above very noticeable with its continuous experimental vinifications, from single vineyards, and bottling in a small number of bottles, exhausting all possible vinifications of the Kefalonian varieties.
"Orina Armakia" comes from the Robola variety of the winery's high quality vineyards, all at an altitude between 550 and 700 meters, with the classic (as they have taught us) white vinification of the winery's in a low intervention style. Lakomatia, Trogianata, and the pro-phylloxera vineyard of Fagias, with the largest percentage of grapes coming from the last one, are harvested in the best season for each one and vinified separately in stainless steel tanks. After the fermentations are complete, the 6-month stay in contact with the lees adds extra complexity and reinforces the question, why haven't you tried it so long?
Robola has a great relationship with time and is constantly evolving, that's why we suggest you try it now, but if you can wait, also in the following 5 years.
