The grapes are sourced from the viticultural zone of Agios Panteleimon within the Amyndeon appellation in
Florina, Northwestern Greece. The high altitude (600m) and the poor sandy soils of the area lead to low vineyard yields (about 60 hl/ha) and slow ripening that results in a rare aromatic intensity especially for white grape varieties. Thanks to the four surrounding lakes that act as a buffer zone, the vines experience more temperate weather conditions than expected. We distinguish and treat accordingly two different vineyard types for Roditis: Those with high canopy and drip irrigation that give good ripeness and balance between alcohol, acidity and intense aromas, and those with low canopy that are head-pruned at low height and dry-farmed and give lower yields, later harvest dates, and high acidity with big mouthfeel.
