Retsina - - John Boutari & Son
Ref: A4000
The best Retsina comes from the Euboea region, in central Greece, near Athens, and is principally made from the Savatiano grape, with just a little Rhoditis to add freshness. It is a wine that is still made in the way the 'ancients' made it, gently resinating it with pine to avoid it going off.

Although very ‘different’, it is definitely a wine that works well with strong eastern Mediterranean foods.

This Boutari family firm started in Náoussa, in northern Greece, in 1879, and today it is run by two innovative brothers, Yannis and Constantine Boutari, who, in 1965, started a long process of modernisation by planting of a ‘trial’ vineyard at Yanncohori and then expanded into regional winery investment by building state-of-the-art wineries at Santorini, Crete and the historic Bamiadaki estate, near Archanes.

The skill of the Boutaris is to incorporate a high level of modern wine-making techniques whilst maintaining the individuality and regionality of their wines, continuing to use indigenous grape varieties.
