Information
Roditis from Greece is light yellow with flavors of green apple and citrus, and a hint of floral notes. It's light-bodied with a crisp finish. Perfect with seafood and light pasta dishes. Great for a casual lunch.
Fun facts
Roditis is often mistaken for a white grape due to its pale, pinkish hue, but it's technically a pink-skinned grape. Its color gives it the ability to create both refreshing white wines and occasionally a light, blush-style rosé when the skins are left in contact with the juice for a short period.
