Taking a deep breath in the middle of a winter forest or nibbling on a Christmas tree is exactly the vibe here. This resinous scent brings a fresh, woody energy that smells like a brisk hike rather than an industrial floor cleaner. While it is the defining feature of Greek Retsina, you will also find this evergreen punch in cool-climate reds where it adds a savory layer that feels grounded and wild. It acts as a sharp anchor that stops the fruit from tasting like a one-note sugar bomb. You get a botanical hit that keeps the palate alert without any actual needles getting stuck in your teeth.
