WINE MAKING PROCESS
Kechribari Retsina is produced using classic white wine vinification methods in stainless steel tanks, with careful temperature control. A key technique involves the addition of fresh pine resin during alcoholic fermentation to achieve optimal flavor integration. The wine typically undergoes a brief aging period of 1-2 years. Harvest timing can vary, with some vintages noted for late harvesting to optimize grape characteristics.
