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. — 2 years ago

When I get retsina, I want it to have loads of pine punch. This one was a little closer to a pinot gris than a really strong retsina. — 4 years ago

Domaine Papagiannakos Savatiano Old Vines 2018: Medium-bodied. Balanced structure. Medium-low acidity. Made from the ancient white Greek grape Savatiano, this wine offers a delicate fruity bouquet and pronounced clean flavors of lemon, lime & green apple. The finish is minerally & dry. All in all, a perfect summer sipper that goes well with or without food. For me, it was sunshine & Greek wine. Perfect pairing, right?! Great day to all! Cheers ☀️🍷 — 3 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 — a year ago

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. — 2 years ago

Interesting & delicious: fairly rare varietal, similar to some Bordeaux Blancs I’ve tasted with SB aromatics & Semillon texture... this was light straw colored with some big time citrus mingled w/leesy notes + white orchard fruit. Firm acidic backbone & some decent stuffing - well balanced, definite thumbs up! — 4 years ago
