An incredibly interesting wine. 100% Savatiano, the main grape in Retsina. The ten days of skin contact and ten months on the lees with battonage is on full display with its fuller bodied, oily texture. Quince, guava, pineapple, nectarine, and stones. More white than orange. Reads Riesling/Chenin. An incredible value if you’re looking for a wine to wrap your head around. — 4 years ago

A full bodied Greek wine, my first. Notes of pear, and tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango. Has a light smooth finish. Went well with chicken alfredo. @Delectable Wine this is the Savatiano - Sandy’s Shack Imported Wine and Beer. Update! This wine actually tastes better when not so chilled — 3 years ago

The wine is rich, thick, balanced, nice acid and tannins. Not a fruit forward wine but amazing nose and body. Alcohol is high but balanced. Color is deep gold. The wine maker and his philosophy is amazing. Young guy and doing things his way and the right way. Yields are tiny, production is very small, quality is extremely high, family vineyard. Very special and unique wine. A steal at any price. In comparison to this producer’s roditis, this wine is 87% savatiano and 13% roditis. The wine is more elegant than the roditis. It is clearly a wine that focuses on terroir. I honestly put this as one of, if not the best, Greek wine, have tasted. I can’t say enough good things about this wine. The wine will likely age well because of the skin contact tannins. — 4 years ago

Really nice and fresh/bright white! Not too much fruit on the palate, just a really refreshing & zippy wine, nice to pair with a meal or just knock back & enjoy. Fantastic for the price! — a month ago
