Grapes
Roditis & Mavrodaphne
This pink-skinned grape is one of the most cultivated white varieties of Greece. Though traditionally from Peloponnese region, now it garnishes vineyards in different regions such as Epirus, Patra, Attica and Peloponnese. It can produce well-structured wines with lemony color, fruity aromas and stimulating acidity. Winemakers have been recently exploring new styles, offering premium quality Roditis based wines.
Producer
Castro is produced by the Hahalis family distillery, one of the most established names in Patras. The business began in the 19th century on the island of Chios — famous for its mastic — before Panagiotis Hahalis moved the operation, and its recipes, to Patras in 1939. Today the distillery sits on the hills outside the city in Romanos, an area prized for the quality of its water, and produces ouzo, mastiha, raisin brandy and a range of liqueurs and vermouths, with particular care given to its traditional spiced Tentoura recipe.
