Sigalas Kavalieros Barrel Assyrtiko Santorini

Santorini PDO, Greece
From the single Kavalieros vineyard, fermented and aged in French oak barrels, this is Santorini's most complex dry white wine. The barrel adds hazelnut and toast while amplifying Assyrtiko's natural mineral depth; the result is a wine of extraordinary tension and longevity.
complement
The barrel-fermented complexity and mineral depth of Kavalieros are equipped to handle truffle; scallop's sweetness is complemented by the wine's richness while cauliflower provides the earthy bridge.

Graviera is the cheese of the Greek islands; the wine's barrel complexity and volcanic mineral depth find perfect resonance with the aged sheep's milk cheese, while honey bridges the wine's citrus core.

Kavalieros's hazelnut oak and volcanic mineral character create a profound match for lobster thermidor; Gruyère's nuttiness echoes the wine's oak while tarragon adds aromatic lift.
