We traveled to Orini Egialia, where he Angelos Rouvalis, the winemaker who upgraded Roditis in 1990 welcomed us to his estate.

We talked about the Mediterranean diet and Fernand Braudel, the historian of the Mediterranean.

The discussion continued about wine and the revolution of must fermentation in cold tanks, a fact that led to the possibility of creating good wines in the warm parts of the Mediterranean.

In connection with this event with the emergence of small wineries in Greece.

He traveled with us to his experiences in Santorini in 1982 at the Santorini Cooperative and then on the adventure of exploiting Roditis in Aegialia.

We visited his winery Oinoforos in Aigio. There his daughter Theodora Rouvali took us on a tour of the six levels of this modern factory where the flow of must and wine is done by gravity.

He told us about the new generation of wines…

How in the beginning the winery relied on technology, then on biology and how now the emphasis is again on viticulture.

It was a magical journey into the world of wine, guided by two excellent winemakers.
