Batiki
Introduction
Batiki is primarily cultivated in the region of Larissa (Tyrnavos area) and in Magnesia. It is a variety characterized by large berries and high productivity. Although it is often blended with Roditis, its single-varietal vinifications reveal a simple yet very clean and refreshing character.
Tasting Notes
Color: Light straw yellow with green highlights. Aromas: Subtle aromas of white-fleshed peach, melon, and lemon blossoms. Palate: Light to medium body, with soft acidity and a pleasant sense of freshness that is not tiring.
Gastronomy
Traditional Appetizers: Fried vegetables, cheese pies, and meatballs. Seafood: Fried red mullet or grilled sardines. White Cheeses: Pairs perfectly with fresh Tyrnavos feta or manouri.
Terroir
Terroir: Prefers the lowland and semi-mountainous soils of the Thessalian plain, which are mainly clay-loam and fertile. The soil's ability to retain moisture helps the variety cope with the high temperatures of the area. Climate: The climate is typically continental, with very hot summers. However, the variety ripens relatively late, taking advantage of the cool September nights that help maintain acidity.
