Glossary

Roditis

A rosé colored grape used primarily to make the light white wines of Patra. Crisp and dry, with aromas of citrus and honeysuckle, this is a good grape to try in place of your daily Pinot Grigio. This varietal is frequently blended with Sauvignon Blanc and Gewurztraminer to make richer, more full-bodied whites, and with Savatiano to make Retsina.

Assyrtiko

Pronounced "a SEER tee ko". This white varietal is native to Santorini and the other Aegean Islands. Used to make crisp dry wines similar in style to dry Riesling, it is often blended with other varietals - both indigenous and international - such as Sauvignon Blanc. This grape is also used to make the popular Greek dessert wine, Vinsanto.

Retsina

This is Greek history in a bottle! For years, Greek winemakers used pine resin to seal their winebarrels, and thus the resultant white and rosé wines took on the distinctive flavor of pine. Nowadays the wine is produced by adding small amounts of Aleppo pine resin to the fermenting grape juice. Immensely popular as the perfect accompaniment to Greek meze (or appetizers), this completely unique wine is more appreciable if considered more of an aperitif.
