    The improvement of cultivation and winemaking were the first steps in the past decade in the production of high quality resins and simply foreshadowed the substantial changes that are taking place at the heart of 1979 Wines, the company of Eleni Kehri. Kallos is the result of scientific research across the entire spectrum covering the production and enjoyment of resin: from the grape and resin, to the production and use of the two key raw materials of wine in its vinification, to the culture of resin as it has been shaped over 7 millennia. Kallos is the first retsina in Greece to be produced from sustainable retsina (retsina is extracted by chopping the tree without any use of chemicals) and is a great Greek wine (we deliberately do not use the word retsina) that shows the way forward. Innovation, sustainability and ongoing scientific research lead to a sensational wine. Phos (denoting the year 2020) is complex, with unique balance, depth, flavor concentration and wonderful evolution that you would expect in all great white wines. There is no wine that is closer to the concept of Greek terroir. An almost natural choice that has been, is and will be forever. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

    More info

    We often wonder if there is another wine that, on a global level, has a clearer connection with its place than retsina. What is shocking, however, is that with 1979 Wines' Kallos, retsina takes on a different dimension, that of a quality icon not only for this particular category but for Greek wine as a whole. Hardly any other wine will manage to awaken so many memories, to take you on a journey to the place from which it comes, to have so much Greekness engraved in its DNA. We often get lost in the search for the new, what we have not yet discovered, new styles, new regions, new winemaking "games" in the winery cellar. But how amazing is it to discover the new in what is considered the most traditional style of wine in Greece? Putting the resin itself, one of the two main raw materials for the production of Retsina, under the microscope for the first time, Eleni Kehri summarizes the results of her research in a wine that is sensational. 'The best you have tasted in a long time. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
