Retsina Malamatina
by Paul Arthur on Jan.17, 2010, under flavoured wine, retsina, white wine, wine
Background: This resinated white is made from a blend of Savatiano and Roditis, according to the winemaker’s website. At least I think that’s what it says; I don’t actually speak Greek, so other than picking out Σαββατιανό and Ροδίτης I’m at a loss.
Nose: Fresh mown grass, with fir tree overtones.
Taste: Musky and floral, with a lightly acid bite. Earthy, resinous…resin.
Overall: Possibly the best retsina available locally, well balanced and pairing well with fatty fish (or even leftover pizza).
