Ecosystems
The vineyards are located in Panochori and the Fagias area, covering 2.2 acres planted between 1960s and early 1980s, consisting entirely from Robola vines. This indigenous variety is grown exclusively on the island and is recognized world-wide as one of the finest white varieties, possessing the name of the geographic PDO Appellation. Fagias is the heart Robola. A place of wild beauty with magnificent views. Vines are planted on the steep slopes of Mount Enos at an altitude of 1,600 to 2,300 feet with well drained limestone soils and a forest of black pine trees above at the top. Because of the harsh landscape the vines are planted on terraces to take advantage of the sunshine, rich soils, and the sea breeze that comes from the coast. All of these factors determine the distinguished style of these wines from exceptional vineyards.
Tasting Notes
Pale lemon color and elegant aromas of pear, green apple, lime, citron, lemon peel, and lemongrass, while a wonderful mineral feeling of wet flint stone gives it a unique character. Medium to full body, intense, concentrated, with sharp, refreshing acidity.
