Roditis Maison 2021 Domaine Ligas

Roditis Maison – Domaine Ligas

Philosophy in the vineyard

Roditis Maison comes from the rolling hills of Giannitsa, in Central Macedonia, where Domaine Ligas farms with a regenerative, hands-off approach. The native Roditis grape thrives in sandy-limestone soils and a breezy climate, developing a perfect balance of ripeness and acidity. No chemicals, no irrigation, only respectful manual work.

In the cellar

The winemaking is minimal: spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, no fining or filtration, and no added sulfites. Roditis Maison is aged in neutral vessels (steel or fiberglass) to preserve clarity and freshness. It’s a wine meant for the table—vivid, honest, and alive.

Tasting notes

The wine shows a pale golden hue with light amber shades. The nose is aromatic with notes of candied citrus, herbs and ripe peach. On the palate, it’s vibrant and textured, with light tannins and refreshing salinity. A distinctive, food-friendly white with personality and charm.

Domaine Ligas – Natural Wines from Northern Greece

A family story of tradition and experimentation

Founded by Thomas Ligas in the 1980s in the village of Giannitsa, north of Thessaloniki, Domaine Ligas is a pioneer of natural winemaking in Greece. After studying oenology in France, Thomas embraced a radical, soil-focused approach with zero chemicals. Today, the estate is led by his children, Meli and Jason Ligas, who continue to evolve the vision while respecting their father’s legacy.

Living vineyards and local varieties

The vineyards are farmed using natural and regenerative methods, on sandy and calcareous soils surrounded by wild herbs and forests. No irrigation, herbicides, or systemic treatments are used. Indigenous varieties such as Roditis, Kydonitsa, Xinomavro, Limniona, and Assyrtiko are grown and expressed with purity.

Respectful and minimal intervention in the cellar

In the cellar, everything is done by gravity, with no fining or filtration. Native yeasts drive the fermentation, often with long skin contact and ageing in stainless steel, old wood or amphorae. The wines are alive, honest and vibrant, showing the land’s full identity.
