Domaine Sigalas was founded in 1991 by Paris Sigalas, Christos Markozane and Yiannis Toundas. Initially, Sigalas winery was accommodated at the traditional winery of Paris Sigalas family. Later on, in 1998, a new wine production, bottling and maturity unit was built and activated in a privately owned area, in Oia, the northern part of Santorini Island. Today, after constant investments on technology modernization and expansions the current productive structure is formed, which allows the elaboration and bottling of 300.000 bottles a year.
The company cultivates 19 hectares of vineyards with local varieties and produces quality wines, in which you can see the potential of the varieties and the unique ‘terroir; of the volcanic island. The vineyard of Santorini is considered endogenous. That means that the vineyard of Santorini is one of the oldest with a lot of ancient varieties such as Assyrtico, Athiri,Aidani and Mandilaria.
So in a unique place known for its natural beauty, born from a volcano thousands of years ago, there is the cultivation of the oldest vineyard and at the same time the unique pruning of the plants (the viticulturists give a circular form to the plant, the form of the basket, so the grapes can be inside the circle in order to be protected from the wind).
The company continues its developing strategy always based on its three formative principles: CREATIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TRADITION OF SANTORINI LAND, KNOW-HOW and QUALITY. These principles have always been and still are the fundamental basis of its philosophy.
Our vision still remains the conquest of a dominant place, between wineries that produce wine of high quality and recognition, worldwide.
