This special wine is made with 100% Assyrtiko from the village of Imerovigli that is the highest on the island at 250 meters above sea level. This site delivers very sharp and vertical aromas, and that's exactly what Domaine Sigalas is gunning for here. The 2022 Santorini Assyrtiko Kavalieros ages on the fine lees in stainless steel for only 18 months. It excels at freshness with 6.3 grams per liter of total acidity, and it also presents some crunch from white wine tannins. White grapefruit, peach and quince add volume and creaminess, but the wine's characteristic salinity is what makes it so irresistible. - Monica Larner

Reminiscent of a Mosel Riesling, with its chiseled acidity defining a petrol- and slate-fueled mix of peach, clementine, lime zest, honey and thyme flavors. Bright and racy while expanding nicely on the long and creamy finish. Drink now through 2030. - AN
