In some cases, Chardonnay 16 I used my own best judgement. For example, the grape varieties were often Tempranillo 15 Assyrtico 11 named in Greek, without any further information. I suspect that some names Assyrtico 14 that are only known locally were used in the official data. An example Syrah 11 would be "Asprovergamo". I have also put Moschofilero and Fileri together Asproudes 13 in the percentage chart for the most widely planted grape varieties on page Mandilaria 11 1, but used the breakdown in the index. Both synonyms are used to refer Kolliniatiko 12 to a group of clones with the same DNA profile. However, Fileri might also refer to a table grape grown in some areas of the Peloponnese.
