2025 Sigalas Assyrtiko Santorini

92 POINTS

Monica Larner - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The Domaine Sigalas 2025 Santorini Assyrtiko offers a youthful and approachable expression of the variety with aromas of chamomile, confit lemon, quince and Mediterranean herbs, including sage. Compared to the estate's more ambitious bottlings, this wine is simpler and more immediate, emphasizing texture and drinkability over mineral complexity. The palate is rich, slightly oily and pleasantly textured, with enough acidity to maintain sharpness. Produced in 45,000 bottles from vines more than 60 years old rooted in the volcanic soils of Oia, where pumice, lava and pyroclastic materials shape the vineyard landscape, the wine ages on its lees for at least four months. First released in 1991, this is one of the earliest 100% Assyrtiko wines from Santorini, and it remains an important benchmark.
