Discover retsina, a Greek specialty which is similar to what the ancient Greeks drank. Guaranteed amazement and wonder! More info

This cuvée is a single-variety Roditis, a local regional variety planted on hillsides and naturally "resinated". Retsina is in fact a white wine that offers our closest modern connection to what the ancient Greeks already drank. In their day, resin was added in order to help keep seals airtight and to avoid any form of oxidation. Tasting reveals a particularly floral, mineral nose, characterised – of course – by notes of resin and dried herbs. Its pale yellow colour is smooth on the palate and rich in notes of citrus, white fruit and aromatic herbs. It is a wine of great finesse that has been vinified in amphorae for 6 months.

IGP Peloponèse Tetramythos Alain Gras serve at a temperature of 10°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Filet de perche grillé, Maquereaux fumés, Salade Caésar.
