Medium purple, with violet hues. The nose is discrete with botanic, spicy, and floral hints. Light bodied, with high acidity and tannins typical of Mandilaria.

Grapes are hand-picked, harvested ripe and then sorted and destemmed. The must is fermented 500L French oak barrels for 20 days. The two varieties are vinified separately then blended. Post fermentation the wine is racked and put back into barrel.

Wine ages in 250L, 300L and 500L French Oak for 18 months. 15% new and 85% used.

The soil of Santorini is unique; the whole island is a super volcano and has been covered with volcanic material since the last eruption in 1620 B.C. These vines are classified as old vines, over 50 years in age. The wine producing lineage of the island makes it part of the global historic legacy of grape cultivation.

The Domaine Sigalas 2022 Mavrotragano Mandilaria Mμ is a 50-50 blend of both these red grapes cultivated on the island of Santorini. The wine ages in large oak casks for one year and reveals punchy flavors of cherry, cassis, grilled watermelon and apple cider. The tannins are bitter, and it might help to serve this wine one or two degrees cooler than normal to make it more accessible. It is inherently food-friendly, especially with cheese-heavy dishes like lasagna or pizza. Anticipated Maturity: 2024-2030
