Assyrtiko from a single vineyard in Imerovigli. Unoaked.
Smells rather different from the Santorini Assyrtiko, more smoky/mineral and less fruity in the aroma. In the mouth, deep and chewy, masses of freshness and excellent intensity and length. Still a little bit disjointed and needs time.
Product Description:
Situated in the small picturesque village of Imerovigli, the Kavalieros vineyard overlooks the dramatic Santorini caldera from one of the highest altitudes on the island. The first winery to produce a single vineyard Assyrtiko, Sigalas ages this wine in tank intensely stirring the lees over an impressively long 18-month period. The result is a concentrated, complex and powerful Assyrtiko with a unique lingering persistency on the finish.
