Notes |
An island made from an ancient volcano. Very strong winds here, so they protect the vines by a small basket shaped out of the permanent wood and the grapes grow inside the basket.
Greece notes: Grape growing typically occurs at higher altitudes or directly on the coast where it's cooler. Drought can be an issue. |
