Domaine Sigalas Barrel Assyrtiko Santorini PDO

Assyrtiko Aegean Wine Region, Greece

Barrel-fermented Santorini Assyrtiko from very old basket-trained volcanic-ash vines. Lemon curd, white peach, volcanic mineral, toasted hazelnut and saline sea-air; full-bodied with Burgundy-scale weight and extraordinary mineral tension that persists for ten-plus years.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The wine's volcanic mineral and saline character are the definitive Greek island match for whole grilled sea bream.
• main: Santorini Assyrtiko and local octopus with Santorini's celebrated yellow fava is one of Greece's most iconic food-wine combinations.
• main: The wine's Burgundy-scale weight and sea-mineral character are outstanding with the sweet richness of grilled Aegean lobster.
