Origin

Tetramythos winery is located in the Peloponnese region of Greece, an area known for its rich viticultural heritage and unique indigenous grape varieties. This wine is produced in Greece, reflecting traditional Greek winemaking styles.

Variety

The NV Retsina Amphora is typically made from indigenous Greek white grape varieties, primarily Savatiano and Roditis, which are traditional for Retsina wines.

Production

This wine is produced using traditional methods characteristic of Retsina, including the addition of Aleppo pine resin during fermentation, which imparts the distinctive resinous aroma and flavor. The "Amphora" designation indicates that the wine is aged or fermented in clay amphorae, an ancient vessel that allows micro-oxygenation and preserves the wine’s freshness and texture.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Pale straw yellow with a slight greenish hue.
  • Aroma: Pronounced pine resin notes combined with citrus, green apple, and subtle herbal nuances.
  • Palate: Crisp and refreshing with bright acidity, balanced resinous character, and a clean, mineral finish.
  • Body: Light to medium-bodied.

Food pairings

This wine pairs excellently with traditional Greek cuisine and Mediterranean dishes, including:

  • Seafood such as grilled octopus, calamari, and fresh fish
  • Light appetizers like olives, feta cheese, and tzatziki
  • Salads with lemon and herbs
  • White meats and poultry with light sauces
