HARVEST – VINIFICATION: |
Roditis harvest starts at mid-September and lasts till the end of October. Temperatures at the high regions reach already 5-10°C. The maturation process and the meteorological conditions are systematically monitored. The grapes are collected in crates and come to the winery on the same day. After a light pressing procedure, we follow the essential principles of modern white vinification in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures, while a part of them undergo cold extraction. |
