You don't often encounter Orange Retsina, and it is as unique as it sounds!

Why do we love it?

Vorias and Helios Orange Ritinitis by Markogianni Winery is a special wine that combines the philosophy of orange wines with retsina. Yes, it is as unique as it sounds and is addressed to you who love experimentation and of course the aroma and character of retsina.

Markogianni Winery is located in Skillountia, Olympia. Ever since we got to know them, they haven't stopped surprising us with both their impressive wines and their experiments. In the beginning, Orange came into our lives, now things are going one step further and they present us Vorias and Helios Orange Ritinitis. Roditis from 30-year-old vines stays with the skins for 10 days (red vinification) and then ferments in a stainless-steel tank with ambient yeasts and pine resin. It is bottled without sulfites or other interventions and the result is bone-crunching.

Vorias and Helios Orange Ritinitis is not the wine you will drink as an aperitif but the one that needs exquisite accompaniment. Put next to it complex dishes like fava beans with smoked eel and miso glaze or steamed mussels with soutzouki and turmeric and you will be amazed.
