- A refreshing Retsina made from the superior Roditis variety, perfectly balanced between notes of pine and grapes. The citrus expression co-exists with the delicate and aromatic pine resin on equal terms.
The Roditis grapes were meticulously selected, harvested and pressed immediately on arrival at the winery. Classic white vinification followed by fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. A carefully calculated quantity of resin from the Pinus Halepensis variety was added to the must, imparting the resulting wine with its distinctive flavour. When fermentation had finished, the wine was drawn off, leaving the resin remaining at the bottom of the tank, resulting in a perfect balance of the wine.

Winery | The Traditional Appellation for Retsina can be made anywhere in Greece, typically from Savatiano, a high-yielding, neutral-flavoured white variety. Ritintis Nobilis represents a courageous reinterpretation of the oft-maligned Retsina style and is made from high-quality Roditis grapes. This Ritintis Nobilis cuvee is made from low-yielding Roditis vines grown in cool climates and north-facing hillside vineyards in the village of Koutsi in Korinthia. This area is renowned for producing high-quality grapes, translating into elegant wines with a smooth, lemony character. One of the pioneers of the modern Greek wine revolution, Gaia Estate, was established in 1994 by Greek winemakers Leon Karatsalos and Yiannis Paraskevopoulos. Operating two different wineries, they make cutting-edge wines in Nemea and Santorini. Gaia's main aim is to present the potential of the indigenous Greek grape varieties to wine enthusiasts worldwide. |
