Domaine Sigalas, located on the picturesque island of Santorini, is renowned for its exceptional expression of the Assyrtiko grape. This wine showcases the unique terroir of Santorini, with its volcanic soils imparting a distinct minerality. The Assyrtiko varietal is known for its high acidity and citrus-driven profile, often exhibiting notes of lemon, lime, and green apple, complemented by a saline finish. The wine is typically fermented in stainless steel to preserve its fresh and vibrant character. It pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, particularly grilled octopus or fresh oysters, enhancing the natural flavors of the sea.

This is the estate's flagship wine with 100,000 bottles produced (representing 70% of the winery total). The Domaine Sigalas 2023 Santorini Assyrtiko delivers marine influences with salty overtones around a core of honeydew melon and white peach. The wine's volume is driven mostly by its fruit flavors, but there is a subtle hint of sweetness to close. It sees stainless steel only. What makes this wine stand apart, however, is the impressive intensity of the mouthfeel and its lingering concentration. That rich fruit shows solid runway for bottle aging. (ML)
