Gaia Estate Retsina Ritinitis Noble NV

Retsina is the ultimate love-or-hate-it Greek wine. The story is that when threatened with invasion, the Greeks put their beloved wine into pine casks to make its flavor unpalatable and protect it from invaders. This is the only high quality retsina available in the market today. Ritinitis is made from the Roditis grape in the Aegialia region of the North-eastern Peloponnese. During fermentation, a carefully calculated quantity of resin from the Pinus Halepensis pine tree is added to the must. Overall, Ritinitis is a well-made white wine with a hint of mint and eucalyptus on the nose. This wine pairs extremely well with salty foods and Indian cuisine.
