Also known as: Rogditis, Alepou, Kokkinostafylo, Rodomousi, Krytsanisti, Kanellato, and other names

This is one of the most common indigenous varieties in Greece. It is cultivated chiefly in the north-western Peloponnese, but also in Attica, Viotia, Evia, Thessaly, Macedonia, and Thrace.

The grape can have a size and colour which varies - from red to light green - depending on the clone of the variety and the micro-climate of the place where it is produced.

It is considered an adaptable and fairly resilient variety, with grapes with seeds, and it is used mainly in wine-making. Its harvest, depending upon the region and the year can start in late September and last until the middle of October.

The Appellation of Origin of Superior Quality (Greek: OPAP) dry white "Patra" wines are produced from Roditis, as are the Appellation (OPAP) 'Anchialos' (in combination with the Savvatiano variety) and 'Plagies Melitona' (with Athiri and Asyrtiko) wines, a number of Local Wine (Anavyssiotikos, Attikos, Agioreitikos, Peloponnisiakos, Makedonikos, Thessalikos, etc.), Table Wines, and Retsinas.

The most notable wines produced from Roditis come from vines cultivated on suitable soils in mountainous areas, with a low load per vine. These wines are marked by a balance of taste, good acidity, freshness, and discreet flavours which are sometimes reminiscent of citrus fruits or their blossom and sometimes of tropical or green fruit. They combine easily with dishes from the Greek cuisine and make a first-class accompaniment to fish and seafood.

The Roditis which our company harvests comes from the Mamousia area, in mountainous Aigeialia. It is harvested in the first half of October and contributes to the Strofilia White and the Katogi White wines.
