Description

Rigorous grape sorting by hand on conveyor belt. The fruits are left to dry under the sun for approximately 14 days. The sundried grapes are pressed and led to barrels for almost a 2-year fermentation, followed by minimum 4-year maturation. The wine has luscious golden-amber color. Layers of aromas and flavors keep revealing such as dry fig, dried nuts, honey, mocha. The sharp acidity adds crispness and beautiful balance to the rich concentration and the textural mouthfeel. Long, persistent aftertaste. The wine produced only on vintages with notable grape production in terms of volume as it takes almost 5 tons of grapes to yield 1 ton of this distinctive wine. Ageing potential unlimited.

Residual sugar: 369.9 g/l

Total acidity: 9.5 g/l

Serving recommendations

Serve at 8-10 °C with desserts with dried fruit and chocolate, duck liver pate with caramelized onion jam or just instead of dessert.

Sultanas, Christmas pudding and burnt toffee character throughout. Very thick and very sweet with a syrupy texture. So much caramel at the end. Drink now.

About brand

Nestled in the picturesque Oia plain, on the northern part of Santorini, lies the "Domaine Sigalas" winery. The family-owned 40 hectares of vineyards are cultivated sustainably, with an annual production of 200,000 bottles, reflecting the essence of Santorini and the Cyclades islands. "Domaine Sigalas" is the pride of Greek wine, earning international acclaim.

Paris Sigalas, a visionary winemaker, brought innovation to Santorini's wine production, combining tradition with modern methods. The 1991 creation of "Santorini Assyrtiko" - the first wine with a Protected Designation of Origin - marked a new chapter in the winery's history. "Domaine Sigalas" continuously experiments, striving to extract the best from the Santorini terroir.

"Domaine Sigalas" wines are a journey to the heart of Santorini. They are mineral, fresh, aromatic, and perfectly paired with seafood and light dishes.

  • White wine: Bright minerality, citrus and floral aromas, a refreshing taste, and a long finish.

  • Volcanic soil, where 'Assyrtiko', 'Aidani', and 'Athiri' grapes grow.
  • Rare local varieties - 'Mavrotragano' and 'Mandilaria'.

These vineyards, with their unique soil and climate, give the wines a distinctive character.

Aging and Enjoyment: A Santorini Moment
