His father Giannis built the current winery in 1984, fresh out of his oenological studies in Bordeaux. In 1999 the winery moved to organic farming and low intervention methods to protect the environment and the unique ecosystem of the Asopos river, while raising the quality and purity of the wines. The 12ha estate produces and bottles wines from Agiorgitiko, Malagousia, Kydonitsa, Assyrtiko, Moscofilero as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Syrah in small quantities.The grapes are grown in the private 0,5h vineyard of the Nikolaou family in Ntouramani with an average age of 8 years. The slope of the selected vineyard parcels is 1%, with south orientation and a yield of approximately 750 kg per acre (Almost 7500bph). No pesticides and fertilizers are used other than Bordeaux mixture, Sulphur and organic mulch (organic compost).The grapes intended for this wine are picked by hand once they reach the desired level of phenolic and alcoholic maturity. They are cooled at 4o C and go through skin contact coldextraction at 8o C for 8 hours. Using only the free-run, they are put through the alcoholic fermentation process, which takes place in stainless controlled temperature tanks at a temperature of 17oC in order to bring out the entre bouquet of the variety. During the fermentation we add resin from local pine trees in order to extract the fine aromas and the unique taste of retsina. In keeping with the principles of organic farming, we only add the bare minimum necessary quantity of Sulphur dioxide. Before the end of the alcoholic fermentation the wine is transferred in oak barrels where it remains for 3 months on its lees.Retsina 2303 stands out for its smooth and balanced character. The aromatic profile of Savatiano is combined harmonically with the mint and thyme aftertaste of the resin.Serving: At a temperature of 10oC.Nikolaou Retsina Nemea | Gusto Wines\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45132212863158,"sku":"39338","price":5.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/nikolaouretsinanemea_39338_01_85ee594e_63ef0d2f-700c-4fdb-b510-08320530ac83.jpg?v=1779122987","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/nikolaouretsinanemea-39338","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
