In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Saline freshness meets peachy citrus with bracing, clean energy. High acidity and full-bodied structure deliver lingering length of stone and lemon—no timidity here. Pure, concentrated fruit shaped by volcanic soils and Aegean winds, built to partner seafood and sharp cheese without apology.

The Winery — Domaine Sigalas

Domaine Sigalas, rooted outside Oia on Santorini's northern plain, tends roughly 40 hectares of vines, many exceeding 50 years old, trained in the traditional kouloura basket system to shield fruit from the island's fierce winds. Their holdings span Assyrtiko alongside Aidani, Athiri, Monemvasia, Mandilaria, and Mavrotragano, all drawing from mineral-rich volcanic ash. The 2025 vintage faced its third consecutive year of tight yields; the resulting wine shows concentration and purity. Hand-sorted bunches received a gentle, slow press, then matured on fine lees in stainless steel with periodic stirring—cellar restraint that lets terroir speak without mediation.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is a wine that tastes like where it grows. Pour it alongside grilled fish, mussels, roasted peppers, shellfish, or a sharp feta, and the mineral intensity becomes your conversation partner. At 14% alcohol it stays nimble despite its structure, making it equally at home as an aperitivo or the heart of a date-night meal.
