Situated in the small picturesque village of Imerovigli, the Kavalieros vineyard overlooks the dramatic Santorini caldera from one of the highest altitudes on the island. The first winery to produce a single vineyard Assyrtiko, Sigalas ages this wine in tank intensely stirring the lees over an impressively long 18-month period. The result is a concentrated, complex and powerful Assyrtiko with a unique lingering persistency on the finish.

"Smells rather different from the Santorini Assyrtiko, more smoky/mineral and less fruity in the aroma. In the mouth, deep and chewy, masses of freshness and excellent intensity and length. Still a little bit disjointed and needs time. (JH)"

"This special wine is made with 100% Assyrtiko from the village of Imerovigli that is the highest on the island at 250 meters above sea level. This site delivers very sharp and vertical aromas, and that's exactly what Domaine Sigalas is gunning for here. The 2022 Santorini Assyrtiko Kavalieros ages on the fine lees in stainless steel for only 18 months. It excels at freshness with 6.3 grams per liter of total acidity, and it also presents some crunch from white wine tannins. White grapefruit, peach and quince add volume and creaminess, but the wine's characteristic salinity is what makes it so irresistible. Annual production is 10,000 bottles."
