Winemaker's Note
Bright pale lemon color. On the nose, the freshness of Roditis with aromas of green fruit and citrus is paired with the stone fruit -mainly peach- and the floral notes of Malagousia. Medium-bodied with fruity and crisp mouthfeel that leads to a refreshing finish.

Analytical Data
Two native Greek grapes – Malagousia and Roditis- are used to produce this wine. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested from selected vine parcels of collaborating growers in the broader area of Macedonia in Northern Greece. The climate of the region with the notable diurnal temperature variation, as well as the diversity in morphology with the combination of mountains and water bodies (sea, lakes, rivers) form ideal conditions for viticulture.
Roditis on the one hand, with its trademark pink skin, offers clean, lemony aromas with subtle mineral notes and crispness. On the other hand, Malagousia adds an aromatic richness (fruits, flowers, herbs), character and complexity.
Classic white vinification of each variety separately. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures -15-16 °C for Malagousia and 17-19 °C for Roditis. The wine stays in contact with fine lees, with periodical mild stirring (batonnage) for up to 5 months.
