Taut energy and volcanic intensity define this benchmark white from one of Santorini’s most respected estates. The Sigalas Assyrtiko Santorini 2024 is produced by Domaine Sigalas, a long-standing reference point for precise, terroir-driven Assyrtiko. Sourced from old, low-yielding vines grown in the island’s unique volcanic and calcareous soils, the wine captures the raw character of Santorini with clarity and restraint. Fermented in stainless steel with careful lees contact, it prioritises freshness while building subtle texture and depth. In the glass, the wine shows a pale lemon colour, signalling vibrancy and purity. Aromatically, it balances citrus and stone fruit with a pronounced mineral edge that speaks directly to its maritime origins. The palate is structured and incisive, driven by naturally high acidity and a saline backbone that gives the wine both tension and length. Despite its intensity, the wine remains finely balanced and composed. This 2024 release is a classic expression of Santorini Assyrtiko, offering immediate precision and the capacity to develop gracefully over time.
