Traditional Vinification
To create Malamatina Retsina, carefully selected grapes from the Savvatiano and Roditis varieties are hand-picked before undergoing controlled vinification. These two classic Greek grape varieties provide the foundation for the wine, contributing freshness, fruit character and balance.
During production, premium-quality fresh pine resin is added to the wine. This traditional technique gives Retsina its unmistakable pine character and unique Mediterranean aroma. Consequently, Malamatina delivers the distinctive profile expected from a genuine Greek retsina while remaining easy to enjoy with food.
