Description
Product Description: An ancient Greek tradition, subtly renewed with restraint and grace. The 2024 Papagiannakos Retsina is a dry white made from 100% old-vine Savatiano, nurtured on non-irrigated, limestone soils in Mesogaia, Attica, where winds from the Aegean temper the continental heat. This expression delivers a pale, straw-blond appearance and an aroma of fine pine resin threaded with a fresh strain of lemon, resin from native Aleppo pines is carefully introduced mid-fermentation for nuanced integration. The overall balance leans toward mineral-driven citrus with an undercurrent of herbal complexity, offering both authenticity and elegance. A vinous emblem of terroir and tradition, it’s made in stainless steel under strict temperature control (ca. 16-18 °C / 60-65 °F), preserving Savatiano’s freshness while letting pine resin impart its unique character without overshadowing the variety’s subtlety. Tasting Notes NOSE – Pine meets citrus A balanced interplay of sweet pine resin, rosemary, thyme, and a wash of fresh lemon and citrus zest. PALATE – Crisp herbal-citrus Dry, medium-bodied, with fresh acidity and saline-mineral texture; flavors of pine resin, lemon, lime, pear, and herbal nuances emerge over a base of old-vine depth. FINISH – Clean and lingering Long, mineral-driven finish, where citrus brightness softly combines with the pine’s crisp edge.
