Wine Variety: Some confusion here as the name Robola has been used to refer to vines that produce both red and white wines. It has been found to be unrelated to Ribolla Gialla, thus disproving a belief that had been prevalent for centuries. Rombolla Kokkiano and Mavro Rombola are thought to be genetic mutations of Robola, being pink and black skinned respectively.

Wine Region: Kefalonia - or Cephalonia - is an island in the Ionian Sea off Greece's west coast. The island's biggest feature is Mount Ainos, the slopes of which permit vines to be grown at altitude, thereby moderating the influence of summer's heat. More widely, the Greeks were responsible for the dissemination of wine growing throughout the Mediterranean basin, introducing viticulture to Italy (via Sicily), France and elsewhere.

Wine Producer: Orealios Gaea is a co-operative which, according to their website, was set up in 1982 "in an attempt to protect and promote the Kefalonian vineyard’s potential". It now vinifies fruit from some 3000 grape growers.
