Tear of the pine, Retsina

Posted by Ana Gallegos on

Retsina
🌍 Greece, Macedonia

🍇 Assyrtico

The Tear of the Pine Retsina from Kechris has a straw yellow color, delicate aromas, with subtle shades of resin, hints of minerality and fruity nuances in a well-made mouth with retsina adding something spicy without dominating the whole. Cool and fruity finish with herbal touches.

This is the second most highly rated Macedonia – Greece wine (based on critic scores): the 2015 vintage was given a score of 92 by Wine Enthusiast.

Ranked in the top 10 for a number of awards won among wines from this region: the Vinalies Internationales awarded the 2015 Gold and the International Wine Challenge awarded the 2014 vintage Gold, Trophy.
