Sigalas Assyrtiko Barrel Fermented 2020 希格列斯莊園 過桶聖托里尼

100% Assyrtiko, fermentation in French oak barrels and aging of the wine with wine lees for approximately 6 months

Rating: 92 Wine Advocate 

The 2020 Assyrtiko Barrel Fermented is an Assyrtiko aged for six months in mostly (90%) used French oak. It comes in at 15.2% alcohol, 2.1 grams of residual sugar and 6.2 of total acidity—another fat and ripe (and somewhat alcoholic) wine in this vintage. This, with the overlay of oak, seems much bigger than the big regular Santorini this issue and more expressive. Here, the richness seems matched by the wine's depth and overall demeanor. This rolls around the mouth and coats the palate nicely. It handles the oak brilliantly, but it is still a wine that you will really want to drink with food.

Tasting Notes：Bright gold and blonde color, with discreet presence of wood with hints of citrus fruits, full and round refreshing taste with balance, good acidity and long aftertaste with a characteristic minerality, typical of the variety, at itΆs very best.

8 個月法國橡木桶(新桶 20%、舊桶 80%)陳釀。Assyrtiko是希臘最精彩的原生白葡萄品種 。100% Assyrtiko在Mr. Sigalas的操刀之下釀出的不同酒款卻仍有著風格迥異的感受，這也只有最熟悉聖托里尼這塊土地、最了解這個品種的釀酒師才能辦到，而Domaine Sigalas 仍持續地在傳統和創新中帶領希臘葡萄酒前進；不但積極復育瀕臨絕種的原生紅葡萄品種- Mavrotragano並且不斷創新由Assyrtiko釀造的酒款；連年的得獎紀錄更說明了Sigalas酒款的不凡。

喺橡木桶嘅覆蓋下，似乎比本期嘅大型普通聖托里尼酒要大得多，而且更有表現力。喺呢度，豐富性似乎與酒嘅深度和整體舉止相匹配。呢款酒喺口中碌，很好地覆蓋了上顎。佢叻地處理了橡木桶，但佢仍然系一款你真正想和食物一起飲嘅葡萄酒。否則，佢就會顯得很沉悶。
