Complex, powerfully mineral nose, with intense aromas of citrus fruit (ripe lemon), accompanied by hints of herbs and citrus flowers. Rich body, refreshing acidity and long aftertaste, wιth persistent minerality.
In the press
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. Drink 2024 - 2035
Vinification
Grapes are harvested at full maturity then very gently pressed in a pneumatic press over 6 hours. Vinified in stainless steel tanks, under controlled temperatures. The wine then remains on its lees for 18 months in the tank before bottling. Only 6,000 bottles made of the 2020 vintage.
Food Match
Seafood, salads, white meat, light sauces and mild cheeses.
