Appellation: Retsina, Appellation by Tradition (Gerakona, Goumenissa, Macedonia, Greece)
Grape Variety: 100% Assyrtiko, with sustainably tapped Aleppo pine resin
Mid gold. Toasty, golden, almost honeyed (without being in the least sweet)... Intense, powerful, blasting with rosemary and so fresh... complex and long... Shows how well retsina can age.
Score: 17.5/20 points -- Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, 2025
Food Pairing: Lamb souvlaki with rosemary and lemon, or a roast chicken with oregano and lemon potatoes.
