Roditis
At a glance
Roditis is one of the two most planted varieties in Greece. Together with Savatiano, it covers close to one-third of the country’s total plantings. Current numbers show that it is planted in 9150 ha (11% of the Greek vineyard) vs 10.500 of Savatiano (13% of the Greek vineyard), but Roditis is much more productive. It used to be predominantly associated with Retsina, whereas nowadays various clones and mountainous terroirs produce thrilling examples that elevate the variety's excitement. Τo these can add some natural and skin contact versions, as Roditis is a pink-skinned variety.
It is a variety that has been cultivated for very many years all around Greece. Mostly planted in the Peloponnese, in the prefecture of Achaia, Evia, Boeotia, Attica, Thessaly, central and eastern Macedonia.
