As with its red counterpart, the Demestica white wine is a popular Greek wine that's probably easy to find. After opening before dinner a few weeks ago, I was little disappointed that it was too gentle to stand up to the fish I had just grilled. It did grow on me a little more towards the end of dinner after it had about 30 minutes or so to breathe.
It's a light golden color and made from the Roditis grape blended with other local varietals (probably Savatiano)...a simple wine that you can try if you can't find much else in the way of Greek wines, but if you can, this won't match up with others for around the same price or a little more. I probably paid between $7 and $8 at the county wine & liquor store down the street.
Strangely, I really enjoyed it at the end of the meal with some sharp cheese and amarettini biscuits. I could do that again.
