Oia, on the iconic island of Santorini, Domaine Sigalas Winery is one of the island’s most celebrated wineries, known for producing wines of exceptional quality.
With its rich history, stunning location, and commitment to craftsmanship, Domaine Sigalas offers visitors an unforgettable experience that beautifully captures the essence of Santorini’s volcanic terroir.
A legacy of experience
Domaine Sigalas was established in 1991 by Paris Sigalas, who has been involved with winemaking from an early age in his privately owned cellar canava. In 1998, a modern winery was established in a 30-hectare vineyard, where the focus shifted to cultivating Santorini’s indigenious grape varieties.
Among these are Assyrtiko, Aidani, Athiri, Gaidouria, Platana, and Mavrotragano, grapes that are uniquely suited to the island's arid climate and mineral-rich volcanic soil. The commitment of this winery to the improvement of these grape varieties has earned Domaine Sigalas numerous awards in international competitions, hence further making its place within the globe.
The vineyard & winemaking process
The vineyards of Domaine Sigalas are situated in the heart of Santorini’s volcanic soil, where the sun-drenched landscape creates the perfect environment for grape cultivation. The island’s unique terroir imparts distinct minerality and depth to the wines, resulting in complex, well-balanced flavors. The traditional way of growing grapes in a basket shape, known as kouloura, is still applied today because it is adapted to the island's windy conditions, protecting the grapes while enhancing their concentration and character.
