Domaine Sigalas, Cyclades (Greece) Assyrtiko + Monemvasia 2018

 Greek wines often exhibit a style that combines richness and refreshment in a most enticing way.  This wine is a blend of two native varieties grown in the Cyclades, the group of islands in the Aegean Sea that includes Santorini and Paros, among others.  This 50/50 combo of Assyrtiko and Monemvasia from Domaine Sigalas shows an exotic nose of honeysuckle, lemon, ripe apple and melon.  The flavors exhibit pure apple, honey, melon, and tropical fruits backed by hints of citrus peel and subtle herbs.  It has a rich texture and a lifted and lively finish.  The elegant honey and floral tones of the Monemvasia combine with the depth and mineral character of the Assyrtiko to give this wine an attractive style that is well worth a try.
