The white grape variety originates from Greece. Synonyms are Petrolanos, Petrolianos and Petroylianos. The parentage (parentage) is unknown. The early to medium ripening vine is resistant to drought and downy mildew, but susceptible to powdery mildew. It yields full-bodied white wines with moderate acidity and intense aromas of lemons and peaches. It is grown in small quantities in the southern Peloponnese and in the region of Macedonia. However, no stocks were reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics).
For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
