Rizes Retsina

Tetramythos Rizes Retsina is produced in Greece, a country renowned for its ancient winemaking traditions and unique styles such as Retsina. The wine is crafted in the Peloponnese region, where the Tetramythos winery is located.

This Retsina is typically made from indigenous Greek grape varieties, predominantly Savatiano, which is traditional for Retsina wines. The resin flavor is imparted by the addition of Aleppo pine resin during fermentation.

The production of Tetramythos Rizes Retsina involves fermenting the grape must with carefully measured Aleppo pine resin. This ancient technique preserves the wine and imparts its distinctive pine aroma and flavor. The wine is then aged briefly before bottling to maintain freshness and aromatic intensity.
