The symptoms and some characteristics of an unreported disease of grapevine, which was observed during the last years on the cv. ‘Roditis’ in central Greece, are described. The disease is transmissible to V. vinifera ‘Mission’ and to some herbaceous test plants. The constant association of a virus to naturally infected plants cv . ‘Roditis’ and chip‐budding infected indicator plants cv . ‘Mission’ supports the evidence that the disease is caused by a virus.
