Σκλάβου Ροδίτης Orange

12,40 €

Roditis is a candidate for some of the best orange, or more correctly skin-contact, wines of the Greek vineyard. Evriviadis Slavos therefore produces a top Roditis of this category from quality grapes that he buys from the Aegialia Mountains, where this particular variety knows its "apotheosis". The poor soils, the low yields per acre, the high acidity, due to the altitude, "guarantee" raw material that "withstands" the prolonged maceration time. For Roditis, Slavos uses Italian and French 600 and 700lt clay amphorae in a traditional vinification process in which contact with the skins lasts for about a month, about as long as the native yeasts ferment. The result does not have the explosive character of varieties such as Muscat or Muscatella but its balance is unsurpassed. A wine that is the best introduction to this style without extremes in structure, tannins and tensions. And top value for money on the market.

More info

Let Vostylidi, Moschatela and Muscat "calm down" in the bottle and enjoy the balanced character of orange Roditis. A wine that has beautiful complexity, with characteristic aromas of roasted orange peel and watercress with a spicy hint of fresh ginger, refreshing acidity on the palate and solid but not wild tannins on a herbal-medicinal finish. The wine is fermented in contact with the skins for a month, followed by a light pressing of the grape pulp in a pneumatic press and the resulting wine is aged for 8 months in the same clay containers that did the maceration. No clarifying agents are added and sulphites are kept at minimal levels with only a small addition before bottling.
