Winery | Voltes is a blend of two native grape varieties: Roditis and Moschofilero. The Roditis grapes are grown in selected vineyards in the region of Achaia, in semi-mountainous terrain. The variety is late-ripening and suited to a Mediterranean climate. Wines made from Roditis are terroir-driven; the character of the grapes is strongly influenced by where they are grown. A significant diurnal temperature shift and poor, well-drained soils result in complex wines with natural acidity at this higher altitude. The pink-skinned, aromatic Moschofilero grapes are from selected vineyards in the plateau of Mantineia in Arcadia. The cool micro-climates of both regions and the characteristics of both varieties contribute to this blend's freshness and aromatic nature. The grapes are hand-harvested. |
