Product Notes

Domaine Sigalas Santorini Assyrtiko is a brilliant Greek wine that hails from the prestigious vineyards of Santorini. This crisp, white wine provides a delightful blend of concentration and freshness, embodying the volcanic island's unique terroir brilliantly. The primary notes are defined by citrus and minerals, with hints of savoury herbs. On the palate, it’s bold and vivid, offering a delightful acidity that beautifully complements its rich, textured body. The finish is long and persistent, echoing the characteristic complexity of Assyrtiko. Overall, Domaine Sigalas Santorini Assyrtiko is a sophisticated choice for those seeking an enchanting, finely-balanced wine.

Tasting Notes

The key characteristic of this wine is minerality - think powdered rocks, oyster shells and rockpools - with fresh lemon citrus holding it together. Bracing acidity provides the backbone to the wine which still shows a lot of depth and complexity on the palate. A perfect harmony of freshness and substance.
