Troupis Winery Pitys Ritinitis Retsina Assyrtiko wine is a delightfully modern interpretation of traditional Greek Retsina. Made in the beautiful Peloponnese region, the wine beautifully blends the native Assyrtiko grape with a subtle touch of Aleppo pine resin. The result? A finely balanced, refreshing wine that dances between citrus notes and pine tones. The beautifully structured acidity and slight effervescence illuminate Mediterranean character and lend charm to this unique offering. With its bright golden colour and full-bodied nature, this wine makes an exceptionally good aperitif or pairs wonderfully with seafood and chevre cheese. It truly encapsulates Grecian sunshine in a bottle.

Tasting Notes
