The only high quality retsina available in the market today. Ritinitis is made from the Roditis grape variety that is harvested in the Aegialia region of the North-eastern Peloponnese. Once the grapes are destemmed and crushed, only the free-run must is kept for the Ritinitis production. Fermentation lasts approximately 30 days at 16C. During fermentation, a carefully calculated quantity of resin from the Pinus Halepensis pine tree is added to the must. After fermentation, the wine is clarified with bentonite. Tartrate precipitation is controlled by a cool stabilization of the wine at –4C and then bottled. 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. - Winery
