Roditis 2016 - Domaine Tatsis

Roditis - Domaine Tatsis 

Discover the most authentic and visceral expression of the Greek terroir with Domaine Tatsis’ Roditis—an orange wine with an unmistakable, honest character. Crafted exclusively from Roditis grapes, this wine is the result of uncompromising, artisanal winemaking; the grapes ferment and macerate on their skins for a full 32 days in open-top vats, extracting unique complexity and a captivating, golden texture. It undergoes a slow, 12-month maturation in old oak barrels—imparting structure and balance without ever masking the fruit’s soul—before being bottled without filtration or added sulfites to ensure a pure, vibrant taste. On the nose, it offers an elegant, aromatic bouquet dominated by notes of mandarin zest, wildflowers, and honeysuckle. On the palate, it is dry, with perfectly balanced medium body and acidity, delivering a satisfying tasting experience that concludes with a long, fruity finish. 

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 10/12 ° in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately to be drunk immediately but will express its best in a few years. We recommend keeping it in a horizontal position in a cool, damp and dark cellar.

Pairing

Extremely versatile at the table, it beautifully complements fish, white meat, and poultry dishes, and serves as the ideal companion to a rich platter of soft cheeses.

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.
