Aoton Winery
Night Harvest Savatiano
Attica, Greece
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.

Interesting skin contact #savatiano white. Passion fruit, roasted pineapple, persimmon aromas; glycerin full body texture, some nutty and caramel tones on the palate. I agree with @Austin Hohnke - this is a white wine, not orange. This a sturdy, bold white that stands up well to Indian food - worked nicely with medium spicy chicken bhuna masala. #greekwines
