Domaine Sigalas Mavrotragano 2021 750 ML

Domaine Sigalas is a wine producer founded in 1991 on the Greek island of Santorini. It is best known for its white wines made from the Assyrtiko grape variety, particularly the crisp, citrussy stainless steel-fermented version. The vineyards and winery are situated on the plains of Oia in the north of the island. Around 20 hectares (49 acres) are owned and farmed organically, and the company has long-term supply arrangements with numerous small local growers. As with the rest of Santorini, the soils at Domaine Sigalas are a sandy mix of volcanic pumice and ash. The combination of warm Mediterranean climate, dry soil, and strong winds off the Aegean Sea means that traditional pruning systems are regularly used (in which the vines are trained into basket shapes or upright globes). As well as the mineral-laden Assyrtico wines, Sigalas makes a range of other wines from white varieties Aidani and Athiri, plus the red grapes Mandilaria (used for sun-dried dessert wines) and Mavrotragano (for conventional table wines). The domaine's annual production totals around 250,000 bottles.
