Kechris Roza Retsina 750 ml

Kechris Roza Retsina — rosé retsina, fresh and modern Greek

The Roza Retsina from Kechris is a modern, refined Greek rosé retsina that brings together tradition and contemporary winemaking beautifully. Where classic retsina is usually known for its white wine base and pronounced pine resin aroma, Kechris Roza shows a softer, fruitier and more elegant side of retsina. It combines fresh red fruit with a subtle herbal touch of resin, which makes it surprisingly approachable both for rosé lovers and for anyone who wants to rediscover retsina.

Grapes & origin
Kechris Roza Retsina is made from selected Greek grape varieties, with the fruity character of rosé at its heart. It comes from Greece, where the retsina tradition has been bound up with Mediterranean food culture for centuries. The combination of ripe red fruit, fresh acidity and the characteristic resin of the Aleppo pine creates a unique Greek rosé retsina with a recognisable but refined flavour profile.

Vinification
The wine is fermented at controlled temperature to preserve the fresh fruit aromas as fully as possible. The addition of a small amount of natural pine resin gives it its characteristic retsina identity. In Kechris Roza this resin influence is subtle and elegant, which keeps the wine fresh, aromatic and modern. The result is a rosé retsina that suits contemporary tastes without losing its authentically Greek character.

Tasting notes
Pale rosé pink. On the nose aromas of strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant, citrus and Mediterranean herbs, complemented by a refined touch of pine resin. On the palate the wine is fresh, supple and fruity, with lively acidity and an elegant herbal finish. The balance between red fruit and resin makes it especially suitable for anyone looking for a fresh Greek rosé with character.

Serving tips
Serve Kechris Roza Retsina well chilled at 8–10 °C. It is delicious with Greek mezze, feta, olives, grilled vegetables, calamari, fish dishes, salads, chicken, light meat dishes and Mediterranean snacks. It is also an excellent summer terrace wine: its fresh, fruity style suits sunny days, barbecues and informal dinners perfectly.

Cellaring
At its best drunk young — within 2 years — to enjoy the fresh fruit, the lively acidity and the subtle aromatic retsina touch to the full.
