Papaioannou Roditis Sauvignon Blanc

Thanasis Papaioannou was regarded as one of the most important figures of modern Greek winemaking. His belief is a combination of indigenous varieties and organic viticulture are the vital ingredients to produce balanced wines reflecting the terroir.

The wines represent some of the best value we have seen from anywhere, demonstrating real character at exceptional prices.
