Drink it now or cellar for up to 5 years. No need to decant. Founded by Paris Sigalas, Christos Markozane and Yiannis Toundas in ‘91, Domaine Sigalas is located not far from the beautiful town of Oia, in the northern part of Santorini, Greece. The company, which owns about 19 hectares of vineyards, produces high quality wines from local grapes, trying to express the unique terroir of the island to the fullest. The wine is a blend of Assyrtiko and Athiri grapes from selected plots on the picturesque island, from vines over 60 years old for Assyrtiko and about 30 for Athiri, planted on the typical volcanic soils of Santorini. After vinification in steel at a controlled temperature, the wine rests in steel tanks for about 3 months, before bottling. In the glass, the wine reveals a clear and bright color with pale lemon-yellow tones. Its aromatic profile is fresh and lively with delicious notes of tropical fruits and citrus supported by fragrant floral scents. On the palate, it is dry and crisp, juicy and fruity with a strong refreshing acidity and a long finish with hints of wildflowers. It is excellent as an aperitif but also works well with salads and seafood.
