Old Vines Markopoulo Savatiano 2023

Sitting down in a beautiful Greek restaurant
Enjoying a gorgeous spanapitoka.

This is e super traditional grape variety in Attica that used to make Retsina wines in pine wood.

This is a more modern version in stainless steel.
Dry grown 50 to 60 yo vines over limestone.

You can actually taste the character of the variety which goes from floral to peachy and quite citrussy. Full of aromatic herbs, particularly wild fennel.
Very enjoyable table wine.
First time for me with this variety.
