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.
