Retsina (Ρετσίνα en griego) es un vino blanco (o rosado) resinado griego que se ha elaborado durante al menos 2000 años. Su sabor único tuvo su origen en la práctica de sellar los recipientes del vino, particularmente ánforas, con la resina del pino de Alepo en épocas antiguas. Antes de la invención de la botella de cristal impermeable, el oxígeno, al estar en contacto con el vino, hacía que éste se estropeara en poco tiempo. La resina del pino ayudó a bloquear la entrada del aire en los recipientes y, a la vez, infundía al vino el aroma de la resina. Los romanos comenzaron a utilizar barriles en el siglo III, evitando así el uso enológico de la resina como conservador, pero el sabor se había vuelto tan popular que su consumo es, todavía hoy, extenso y común.

It is a fact that Cypriot wine has made qualitative leaps in recent years and the effort continues. This rise caused our surprise when we tried some Cypriot wines to include them in our list and saw local and international varieties with excellent results. It pleased us even more when we saw that a wine of our choice was eventually awarded the Platinum in the Decanter awards.
