Roditis is a variety of white wines widespread in Greece. Being very versatile, the variety is used in various mixtures. It is often mixed with Savatiano to obtain Patras, the wine with which Julius Caesar is supposed to have conquered Cleopatra. Roditis can give rise to light wines with its hints of citrus, green fruits, almonds, and minerals. It maintains its acidity with a light body even in the very hot regions of the Peloponnese and Thessaly.

If the variety is grown at a higher altitude, it has been observed that its aroma becomes more complex, acquiring notes of pineapple, melon, white flowers, apple, and banana. It goes very well with tomatoes stuffed with halloumi, shrimp dumplings, and fried chicken. Roditis is to be found in our coupage of whites Queen of Hearts.
