The Notes Family of Wines
Music has the ability to stir us up or to calm us down. It can be playful and lively or soft and soothing. It can affect our mood and bring us joy as can these wines. The distinct varieties that are used are carefully vinified to create a harmonious whole.
Gentilini
Notes Red
An original blend of Agiorgitiko grapes from the PDO zone of Nemea and the local Mavrodaphne to give additional flair. The wine is matured in French oak for 12 months. A fruity, complex wine with sour-cherry and spicy flavours, hints of vanilla and mocha, velvety tannins and long aftertaste.
Pink with Personality
Expressions of Robola
When cultivated on Kefalonia, Robola is considered one of the finest white wine grape varieties of Greece, thriving on the steep slopes of Mount Ainos at high altitudes where it can bask in the sun while maintaining its crisp acidity and terroir driven minerality. Over the last few years we have been experimenting with this variety, exploring its latent potential while preserving the purity of its exceptional character.
Gentilini
Robola Wild Paths
Made from Robola grown in the oldest vineyard at 850m altitude. 50% of the must is inoculated with native Robola yeast while 20% of the total is fermented in French and American oak barrels to give additional depth and complexity. Citrus aromas and hints of white peaches, citron and vanilla, driven by flinty minerality.
Local Variety Artisan Discoveries
Born from rare Kefalonian varieties and crafted in tiny quantities of fewer than 1,000 bottles per vintage, these wines capture the singular character and individuality of each grape and the landscape it comes from.
Zakynthino
Cuvée Spéciale
Zakynthino is a rare indigenous white grape variety that we farm in a high-altitude single vineyard. The must is fermented in oak barrels for complexity before aging for a year in tank. This is a vibrant yet elegant and structured wine with a distinctly Mediterranean profile. Aromas of quince, citrus, peach, green apple and honey with hints of herbs and vanilla.
Vostilidi
Winemaker’s Cuvée
Special local variety with a tannic structure and and a distinctive Mediterranean character. 20% is fermented in oak barrels for layered complexity.
