Why do we love it?
The proof that Cephalonia is the rival awe of Santorini and that Robola is the great, white Greek variety that will intrigue the entire wine community in the following years, has a name: Panochori Old Vines by Panos Sarris!
Panos Sarris does not stop experimenting and pushing over the limits every Cephalonian variety, always with deafening success. Robola is the queen of Cephalonia and little by little everyone is beginning to understand it. Those who don't can just taste Panochori Old Vines. This wine has it all. Old, ungrafted vines at an altitude of 700 meters, in the stony and dry vineyard of Fagias, give their best and most concentrated fruit, since we are talking about yields that do not exceed 300 kilos per acre. Then Sarris does miracles and lets the terroir and the variety speak for themselves. And they have a lot to say. Ambient yeasts, fermentation and maturation in neutral oak barrels and bottling without filtration, sulphites or other interventions create a natural Robola, anthem to minerality and complexity.
