Robolo is grown only in Cephalonia and produces a flavoursome white wine with a most attractive nutty lemony tang.

This wine's label is made from thin plastic, which stretched at it was being removed, thus the rippling along the edges,

Thanks to Michel Bernard for suggesting and loaning me the label

Sweet Hanepoot wine seems to be getting less fashionable, and the label above is from the last vintage made at Backsberg estate.

I have been given several explanations of the name. The two most frequently given are that it is a local pronunciation of honey-pot, an early British nickname for this very sweet grape, but in Afrikaans "hane" means "cockerel" and "poot" means foot, so it could refer to the shape of the grape leaf, although most grape leaves look similar. )

Unfortunately my scanner doesn't give justice to this most attractive label which is a rich dark green with gold embossing on shiny paper
