Tasting Notes
This is the flagship bottling from perhaps the most consequential and legendary producer on the modern Santorini scene. A blend of free-run and press juice, this cuvée is an absoutely benchmark expression of the Assyrtiko grape and delivers the salty, volcanic goods year after year.

"Lively lemony freshness and steely tension. Dry and rounded in the mouth. A good counterpoint between flavour and texture. Long, salty finish. (JH)"

"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."
