Kechribari Retsina (by the case)

This is not your father’s Retsina. Kechribari Retsina is a modern, fresh, and vibrant Retsina. Yellow-green colour, a smooth taste of fresh white fruits and spearmint in combination with an elegant hint of resin, all balanced on the palate, emerges smoothly and lingers on the finish. Aromas of summer Mediterranean fruits backed by vivid herbal notes reminiscent of mastic, pine and thyme. Intensely aromatic, balanced and refreshing, this wine offers the taste of Greek summer.

HARVEST
The 2017 vintage started out as a late ripening year because of the heavy winter. However, thanks to the normal conditions that prevailed in summer, white varieties were harvested late by only a few days, giving grapes with slightly reduced acidity but high alcoholic potential and impeccable health, a very important factor in white wine vinification.

VINIFICATION
Classic white wine vinification in stainless steel tanks under strict temperature control, with the addition of controlled quantities of high-quality fresh resin during the alcoholic fermentation process.
