DRINK OF THE WEEK
24th March 2025
Wine Atlas Roditis/Sauvignon Blanc
Asda £6.97
Drinker Rating 90
This is such a good value wine. It seems strange that it's taken so long for us to get into Greek wine but all the supermarkets now stock a line or two and about time.
With the country's long history of wine making and recent improvements in wine tech there has never been a better time to buy Greek - get in now before it goes up in price.
The reputation of Greek wine has always been somewhat sullied by Retsina and the irony with this bottle is that the grape variety Roditis is one of the key grapes of the much feared resinated wine. Please don't let that put you off - as this one is beautifully pure and has great fruit character and good refreshing acidity.
Who knows, maybe we'll get into Retsina after all?
Cheers!
