2018 Kontozisis 'Drop by Drop' Roditis

Region: Karditsa < Thessaly < Greece

Grapes: Roditis

Vineyard/Cellar Stats: Certified organic farming; no filtration, minimal So2; 13% ABV

Winemaker: Andreas Kontozisis

 Kontozisis, one of Greece's first certified organic vineyards, sits in the middle of Greece, where happy grapes enjoy warm summer days and cool nights (thanks to the shadows from nearby Mount Agrafa). Kontozisis' vineyards are on the foothills of at about 200 meters above sea level.

Drop by Drop is a minerally white made from the pink-skinned Roditis grape -- hence the wine's deep yellow color, which doesn't come from skin maceration in this case. There is zingy citrus and ripe apricot mingling with salty sea spray. Bargain natty Greek wine - we're loving this new trend!
