The red grape variety (also Kolindros) originates from Greece. It is probably named after a municipality. The parentage is unknown. It is cultivated in small quantities in Macedonia, southwest of Thessaloniki. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
