Voreias & Helios Ritinitis Markogianni Winery

Vorias & Helios Ritinitis by Markogianni Winery is an organic, low-intervention orange Retsina made exclusively from Roditis. The grapes come from 35-year-old vines in Skillountia, Olympia, planted on sandy-clay soils.

Spontaneous fermentation takes place without added oenological materials. The juice spends 10 days on the skins, while fresh pine resin is added during fermentation. The wine remains on its lees for seven months and is bottled unfiltered, gaining amber colour, structure and a rich texture.

Aromas of mastiha, pine needles and herbs meet persimmon, mandarin, orange, spices, almonds and walnuts. Full and energetic on the palate, it combines fruit, refreshing acidity and distinctive resinous complexity. Serve at around 11°C with smoked fish, fried seafood or spice-driven dishes.
