Staff Pick Notes

This organic orange wine made from the Roditis grape is named after Vorias (Greek god of the north wind) and Helios (Greek god of the sun), which makes sense after reading about the care and consideration that winemaking brothers George, Konstantinos, and Dionysios take when it comes to the terroir and respecting the environment. Located near Ancient Olympia, Markogianni winery focuses on indigenous grapes and respecting the rare terroir conditions surrounding the semi-mountainous region. There is a permanent breeze to help grapes ripen perfectly, and being right by the Alpheus River (shoutout to the river god of the same name) helps to regulate conditions. The result is a beautiful and expressive natural wine - floral, nutty, and even a bit of funky brine on the palate. Incredible value and so good you'll be praising Dionysus. Yamas!

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.
