Wine Expert Note:

Malamatina Retsina is a Greek wine that is known for its unique and distinctive flavor profile. It is made from the Savatiano grape variety, which is native to Greece. Retsina is a style of wine that has been produced in Greece for centuries and is characterized by its resinous taste. In terms of appearance, Malamatina Retsina typically has a pale yellow color with greenish hues. On the nose, it offers pronounced aromas of pine resin, which is a result of the traditional winemaking process. This resinous note can be quite polarizing, as it is not commonly found in other types of wines. On the palate, Malamatina Retsina is dry and crisp, with a medium body. The resinous character continues to be present, but it is balanced by flavors of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit. There is also a subtle herbal undertone, which adds complexity to the wine. Malamatina Retsina is best enjoyed chilled and is often paired with traditional Greek dishes, such as grilled seafood, feta cheese, and olives. Its unique flavor profile makes it a great choice for those looking to explore different and distinctive wines.
