Origin

Kechribari Retsina is produced in Greece, a country renowned for its ancient winemaking traditions and unique resin-flavored wines.

Variety

This Retsina is typically made from indigenous Greek grape varieties, primarily Savatiano, which is traditional for Retsina wines.

Production

The wine is produced by fermenting the grape must with the addition of Aleppo pine resin, which imparts the characteristic pine aroma and flavor. The resin is added during fermentation to preserve the wine and create its distinctive profile. The wine is then aged briefly before bottling.

Tasting notes

  • Aroma: Pronounced pine resin aroma with hints of citrus and herbs.
  • Palate: Crisp and refreshing with a distinctive resinous character balanced by bright acidity.
  • Finish: Clean and slightly dry with lingering pine notes.

Food pairings

  • Traditional Greek dishes such as grilled octopus, calamari, and fresh seafood.
  • Light salads with lemon and olive oil dressings.
  • Meze platters including olives, feta cheese, and tzatziki.
  • Grilled white meats and herb-infused dishes.
