Roditis is the second largest grape variety in Greece and while it is red, it still produces white wines. It is probably the most widespread variety for white wines in Greece, in terms of plantings and production quantity.

The plant is characterized by great variability, with several clones known to date. The most qualitative of all, is the "Fox" clone. It is a very productive variety, which can be planted both in fertile soils and in mountainous barren vineyards, from which, however, the concentrated fruits offer particularly remarkable wines.

Best results are given in mountain vineyards with a north orientation.

Aromas prevail in moderate intensity, fruity characteristics, citrus, green and tropical fruits, while remaining in the bottle, develops mineral characters. The body is full, with moderate acidity in lowland vineyards, while when the climate of the cultivated area is cold, it moves to relatively high levels.

For the production of wines from Roditis, classic white vinification is usually followed, with fermentations at controlled, low temperatures. It rarely comes into contact with a barrel, while the most common oenological tactic is to stay with the fine lees, which gives oiliness to its body and aromatic complexity. Not a few times, it is vinified with traditional methods, without many interventions, in contact with the grapes, giving structured orange wines, with enough tannins, which increase the structure.

Roditis can be combined with many varieties while participating in the production of many wines with a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and wines with a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI).
