In the vineyards:
At the highest point of Ancient Nemea at a chalky and graveled soil, with very light composition we had to plant a variety less demanding in water and rich soil. We selected Roditis, an indigenous Greek variety, at dense planting –595 vines per stremm- applying the appropriate pruning and training system harvesting only very few grapes per vine which due to the microclimate of the region mature easily and in uniformity. The foliage due to the dense planting protects the grapes from the sun radiation securing the demanding quantity and quality.
Few words about White Fox (Roditis)
Deep-hued Greek varietal. White Fox (Roditis) ripens late, is sensitive to mildew and grows best in the warm climate of Peloponnese . Despite the amount of time that Roditis needs on the vine to achieve ripeness it still retains a high acidity level, something that is prized in the hot climates in which it is found.
Comments from the winemaker:
The variety of Roditis unfolds its merits. A fruity wine with aromas and flavour of fresh fruits: apples, bananas, pears, pineapple and lemon blossoms. Pleasant and balanced wine with soft mouthfeel, refreshing acidity and fruity aftertaste.
