This is a rare grape variety that largely grows exclusively in the Ionian Islands of Greece. Not to be mistaken with Ribolla found in Italy's Friuli, this is a noble grape, exemplified in this stunning wine here, which displays ripe lemon and nashi pear character. Lo-fi and minimal intervention, there is a slither of funk at work here, which riffs perfectly against the backdrop of keen acidity and freshness.

Founded by Panos Sarris in 2016, this winery has quickly become renowned for its award-winning wines, beautiful vineyards, and warm hospitality. Panos Sarris, drawing from his sommelier background, crafts exceptional red, white, and rosé wines using locally grown grapes and traditional techniques, under a relatively minimal intervention banner. Sarris Winery's philosophy revolves around producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of Kefalonia. With sustainable practices in both vineyard management and winemaking, each small-batch wine is meticulously crafted to showcase the best characteristics of the grapes and the land. The result is a range of complex, elegant wines bursting with flavour. We have been on the hunt for some killer Robola (grape variety) wines for some time, so when we finally came across Panos' wines, there was only one thing to do!
