Roditis - Domaine Tatsis 

Domaine Tatsis’ Limnio is a Greek red wine produced in Goumenissa, in Greek Macedonia, from 100% Limnio grapes—one of Greece’s ancient indigenous varieties. It is an authentic wine that speaks of its terroir, expressing the character of both the grape and its place of origin with great immediacy. Vinification involves spontaneous fermentation using only indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in old French oak barrels. Finally, the wine is bottled without added sulfites to preserve its natural, genuine expression as much as possible. In the glass, it displays a bright, luminous ruby ​​red hue of moderate intensity.

Cellar:  Domaine Tatsis

The Domaine Tatsis is located in Goumenissa, a town in the Macedonian region, an ideal place for viticulture where the soils are of limestone origin. The Tatsis family arrived here in 1924 after the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, coming from Bulgaria. Always winegrowers, the care of the vineyards has passed from grandfather to grandchildren Periclis and Stergios, the current owners. Periklis works the land and supervises the vineyards while Stergios is the oenologist Today there are 14 hectares of vines grown with the classic Greek vines: Roditis l 'Alepou, and Malagousia for whites, and Negoska, Xinomavro for reds. The Domaine Tatsis is among the first in Greece to believe in biodynamic agriculture and the Tatsis brothers intervene as little as possible both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
