The white grape variety with red berries originates from Greece (kokkinos = red). In Wine Grapes the name is only given as a synonym for the variety Tourkopoula, but in the VIVC catalogue Roditis Kokkinos is given as an independent variety (with synonym Rodites Kokkinos). It is not known but possible that there is a genetic relationship to the variety Roditis (with bright red berries). In Kym Anderson 's statistics, 828 hectares were reported for a variety Roditis R (R = red berries) in 2016. It is possible that this is the variety Roditis Kokkinos.
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
