Orealios Gaea

The vine-growers of the Robola zone of Ionian Islands Kefalonia, seeking to protect their livelihood and highlight the dynamics of the island’s vineyard, founded the Robola Producers’ Cooperative in 1982 — armed with passion, experience, and deep knowledge of their land. In 1987 the Cooperative built its own winery beneath the slopes of Mount Ainos, next to the Holy Monastery of St. Gerasimos, at the heart of the Robola zone. The most famous grape variety of the island — and one of Greece’s most noble white varieties — Robola is cultivated exclusively in this mountainous viticultural zone surrounding the valley of Omala, alongside other indigenous varieties of equal character. Apart from Robola there are other indigenous varieties in the area, such as Tsaousi, Vostilidi, Moschato and Mavrodafni in a total area of about 120 Ha, with most of them being self-rooted.
