Appellation in the Iraklio district on the Greek island of Crete near the capital Heraklion. Peza is one of the four POP areas on the island; the POP areas of Archanes and Dafnes border it to the west. The vineyards must be located more than 300 metres above sea level. The deep-coloured red wine is blended from the autochthonous grape varieties Kotsifali (mostly 75%) and Mandilaria. The white wine is made purely from the Vilana grape variety. Both wines are vinified dry. Well-known producers are Creta Olympias Winery, Lyrarakis and Tsantali.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
