Textural, saline and far more serious than Roditis often gets credit for, this is a dry white with real energy. Think green apple, citrus, unripe peach and a little fresh herb, with a subtle almondy edge and that cool, mouth-watering mineral line that keeps everything taut. It’s sleek rather than rich, but not skinny, the kind of white that feels brilliant with grilled fish, mezze, or anything involving olive oil, lemon and sea salt. Tetramythos has become one of the key names for modern Greek wine, working high on the north-facing slopes of Mount Aroania above the Corinthian Gulf. Across merchant and producer notes, the consistent picture is cool-climate fruit, organic farming, old vines and low-intervention winemaking, which explains why the wines feel so pure, detailed and alive rather than broad or blowsy.
