„Roditis Barrique” by Ktima Ligas is the most evolved interpretation of this ancient grape from the north of Greece, aged for 8-12 months in barrique. A bright and lively glass that speaks a purely Mediterranean language, emanating salty and earthy scents on the nose. Tasting outlines tension, elegance and finesse, characterized by a mineral, dry and enveloping mouth end. Wine made with old-style artisanal methods.
