Sigalas Assyrtiko Santorini 2023
On the magnificent island of Santorini, lies the ancient plain of Oia, where Domaine Sigalas can be found. Here, one of the most vibrant varieties of the Mediterranean, Assyrtiko grows alongside Athiri and other varieties including Aidani, Mandilaria and Mavrotragano. The estate was founded in 1991, located in the traditional canava (wine cellar) of the Sigalas family. In 1998, a new, modern winery was constructed nearby in a privately owned area. 2003 was a further milestone when it was renamed Domaine Sigalas.
Domaine Sigalas Assyrtiko Santorini has a pale lemon colour. Intense minerality on the nose complemented by aromas of stone fruits and citrus fruits -mostly peach and lemon-, and floral notes on the background. The rich palate is further enhanced by the vibrant acidity and a saline-forward character. Long aftertaste following the aromas of the nose.
