  • About

Roditis Kokkinos or Rhoditis Kokkino, meaning ‘red of Rhodes’, is a red-skinned Greek grape variety traditionally grown in the Peloponnese that has been shown by dna profiling to be distinct from, even if often planted with, the more common pink-berried roditis. Also known as Tourkopoula.
