The grapes are hand-harvested, gently pressed and naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts. Aged for 8–10 months in very old ex-Bordeaux barriques. Unfined, unfiltered and with no added sulphites.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting note and best served with:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e An expressive, hazy golden-yellow white with a slightly wild edge. Aromas of citrus, ripe apricot and orange lead into a juicy, fruity palate, with mineral undertones and a subtle yeasty character. Medium-bodied, with crisp acidity and a refreshing finish. The 2022 vintage has a particularly cloudy, almost beer-like character, with Meli Ligas describing it as reminiscent of fermented lemonade. Great with smoked fish, ceviche, charcuterie or fried chicken.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProducer and terroir information:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Ktima Ligas is a family-run winery in Pella, northern Greece, founded by Thomas Ligas and now run alongside his daughter Meli. The family champions indigenous Greek grape varieties and natural farming, following permaculture principles. Roditis is an ancient Greek variety that was once highly prized for its ability to ripen late while retaining freshness. Following the devastation of phylloxera, it became less common, and the Ligas family have played an important role in bringing this characterful grape back into the spotlight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eABV:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monty Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59150947058047,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/8779\/0907\/files\/library-E3D22092-60A3-4995-B869-BF61FDF42224-L0-001.jpg?v=1794327193","url":"https:\/\/www.montywines.co.uk\/products\/ktima-ligas-roditis-2022","provider":"Monty Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
