RETSINA TETRAMYTHOS (ORGANIC) A new concept in Retsina, from one of the most top producers in Greece … Omit old conceptions about Retsina – that is delicate, herby indisputably with pine flavours, but fruity and moreish. The name of the game lies in their use of superior roditis grapes, organically cultivated, fermented in traditional clay jars (pitharia) from Crete with wild yeast but totally without the oxidation familiar to Greek café retsina. The vineyards of Tetramythos lie at the slopes of Mount Helmos, 450-1000m above sea level on limestone soil. Here the Mediterranean sun is less harsh and freshness is retained within the grapes. Tetramythos has produced a delicate wine with a view to surprise and delight many wine lovers.
