Discover the grape variety: Ravat blanc
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, supple palate and preserved acidity, with undemonstrative aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and hybrid notes. Productive profile for early drinking. Grown in small quantities in France and Canada for continental-climate vineyards, a witness to post-phylloxera French hybridization history. French white hybrid created by Jean-François Ravat in the early 20th century.

The wine region of Ionian Islands
Greek PGI of the Ionian Sea islands (Corfu, Cephalonia, Zakynthos, Ithaca, Lefkada, Kythira), temperate maritime climate. Robola of Cephalonia is the indigenous signature white — taut and mineral with bright citrus, lemon, green apple, white flowers and a flint-saline note from limestone altitude (Mount Ainos), brilliant acidity. Golden Muscat and Mavrodaphne as sweet fortified historical cuvées. Rare indigenous Vostilidi, Tsaousi and Zakynthino as complements.
The word of the wine: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
