Current status

Ideal for drinking young with some potential for 2-3 years of bottle age

Current condition

Fresh, vibrant acidity with bright fruit character

As a dry Roditis wine from Greece with light body and fresh acidity, the 2022 vintage is designed to be enjoyed young to capture its aromatic vibrancy. Moderate aging can soften acidity and reveal secondary notes but extended aging is unlikely to improve its primary fruit-driven style.

Food pairing

Pairs excellently with light seafood dishes, Greek salads, grilled vegetables, and soft white cheeses.
