1979 Kallos Thalassino

Two different terroirs. One inland and one by the sea. But be careful, we are not talking about the terroir where the grapes come from, but the terroir of Retsini. The next step after producing wines using sustainable resin (without chemicals) was to research how the origin of the resin can influence the aromas of the raw material and therefore the character of the wines. And the differences are striking. Based on Assyrtiko from the privately owned vineyard of Goumenissa, with the same winemaking techniques and with the only change in the parameter being the origin of the Resinio, Eleni Kehri continues to develop her research. From the year 2022 come the two micro-communications. The Ousia (the word represents the year 2022) Thalassino is a stunning Assyrtiko, with notes reminiscent of sea salt, herbal hints of mint, as elegant and ethereal as sea wax. Great, wonderful and so excitingly different from the more stylistically classic Stergiano, this is a wine made from resin sustainably harvested from pine trees by the sea in the Elati area of Halkidiki, on the first foot.
