Roditis is a pink-skinned Greek wine grape traditionally grown in the Peloponnese region of Greece. It retains its varietal character and acidity when grown in the warmer regions of central and southern Greece.When grown (often at high altitude) and made with care, in a relatively protective fashion, Roditis is delicately aromatic, broadly textured and elegantly flavoured.

Roditis can be used to create light white wines with notes of citrus, almonds and minerals. The wines can be light to medium bodied, and retain acidity in the hot climate. It is often employed in the manufacture of Retsina, and equally as often blended with the less characterful Savatiano.

Fresh “everyday” wines from Roditis match perfectly with most of the light olive oil-rich dishes of Mediterranean cuisine.
