Boutari Retsina is a traditional Greek wine from the Boutari Winery, renowned for producing wines that celebrate and preserve the heritage of Greek viticulture. This wine is primarily made from Savatiano grapes, which are well-suited to the Greek climate. What sets Retsina apart is the addition of Aleppo pine resin during fermentation, giving it its characteristic pine aroma and flavor. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks, which helps preserve its fresh, crisp qualities. Retsina has a long history, dating back over 2000 years, when the addition of resin was used to seal wine amphoras. Boutari Retsina has been well-received, maintaining a reputation for quality and consistency.
