Authentic Greek Retsina Wine | Aoton Winery 2019 Vintage

Discover Aoton Winery’s exceptional organic white wine from Attica’s sun-kissed vineyards—a harmonious blend of 75% Savatiano and 25% Roditis grapes crafted with meticulous care. This 2019 vintage embodies Greece’s rich winemaking heritage while showcasing a bold, distinctive character shaped by traditional techniques and natural ingredients.

Handpicked under moonlight during nighttime harvests, the grapes arrive at Aoton’s estate still cool from Attica’s crisp evenings. Stemmed and gently macerated in stainless steel tanks, they undergo a slow fermentation driven by wild yeasts native to the vineyard—a process that honors centuries-old practices while preserving vibrant fruit flavors. Over ten days, refrigeration maintains optimal temperatures as small portions of must are rotated daily to enhance complexity.

What truly sets this wine apart is its infusion of hand-harvested Aleppo pine resin from Eastern Attica’s forests. Added at 0.5g/L during fermentation, the resin dissolves into the wine’s structure, imparting a subtle aromatic resinous note—a hallmark of authentic Greek winemaking traditions. The result is a layered sip with citrus zest brightness balanced by hints of pine and wild herbs, finishing clean and refreshing at 13.5% ABV.

Certified organic and crafted without additives, this bottle offers an eco-conscious choice for lovers of artisanal wines seeking bold flavors rooted in sustainability. Perfect for pairing with seafood or Mediterranean dishes, it’s a testament to Attica’s terroir and Aoton’s commitment to natural winemaking excellence.
