      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.

      Papagiannakos

      The Papagiannakos Winery stands in Mesogaia, at the heart of Attiki’s ancient vineyard. The family has worked these vines for generations, continuing a tradition of cultivation and vinification that traces back to classical antiquity. Since founding the modern winery, Vassilis Papagiannakos has built a reputation for championing indigenous varieties, above all Savatiano, the grape most closely tied to the region’s identity.

      The vineyards, averaging 70 years of age, grow in limestone-rich soils under the influence of mild winters, dry summers, and the cooling meltemi winds. These conditions, combined with low yields, produce fruit of exceptional concentration and character. Alongside Savatiano, the estate cultivates Assyrtiko, Malagouzia, Agiorgitiko, and select international varieties, expressing both the resilience of Attiki’s terroir and its evolving potential.

      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.
