Tsantali Retsina 750ml (Greece)

Tasting note: Bright pale yellow color with light golden hues. The nose is vibrant with aromas of citrus, pear and apple, as well as elegant fresh pine resin.  Mouthwatering with a dry and refreshing palate that leads to a lime and pine, saline finish.

Food and Wine pairing: Ideal for pan-fried fish (red mullet, sardines etc), Greek salad, dishes rich in olive oil, feta cheese, spit-roasted meat (“gyros”) and traditional “tzatziki” (yoghurt-based dip with garlic, cucumber and olive oil). Best served slightly chilled (10-12o C).

The vineyard: Halkidiki, Northern Greece. Grapes from selected vineyards of our partner-vine growers.

Winemaking: After picking and pressing the grapes, the clarified must is tank fermented at controlled temperature 18-20ο C. Small quantities of pine resin are added to the fermenting must. The concentration of resin in the wine is 1-2 o/oo (parts per thousand). At the end of fermentation the resin is removed from the wine.
