Barrel Assyrtiko

Domaine Sigalas

2020 Barrel Assyrtiko

Santorini | Greece

A tightly structured, concentrated, dry white. Lots of vanilla, citrus, pineapple and melon wrapped in a mineral, salty acidity. This wine, with the overlay of oak, seems much bigger than the big regular Santorini ...the richness seems matched by the wine's depth and overall demeanor. This rolls around the mouth and coats the palate nicely.
