Rhoditis

Rhoditis

Rhoditis (also known as Roditis) is a pink-skinned Greek wine grape traditionally grown in the Peloponnese region of Greece. The grape was highly valued in the Greek wine industry prior to the phylloxera outbreak due to its ability to ripen late and maintain its acidity in hot climates like those of Peloponnese and Thessaly. However its susceptibility to powdery mildew and phylloxera dramatically reduced it plantings throughout the 20th century. Today it is most commonly blended with Savatiano in making the Greek wine Retsina. J. Robinson (ed) "The Oxford Companion to Wine" Third Edition, p. 572 Oxford University Press 2006 ISBN 0198609906.]

Wine regions

Today, Rhoditis is commonly found in the former Greek colony of "Anchialos" (today the Bulgarian city of Pomorie), Volos, Thessaly and throughout the Peloponnese. In Patras, it is the principle grape behind the delicately perfumed wines named after the city. J. Robinson "Vines, Grapes & Wines", p. 261 Mitchell Beazley 1986 ISBN 1857329996.]
