Sustainability

Sustainability score: 7/10

Use of dry farming techniques on volcanic island soils reduces water usage; manual harvest, minimal intervention winemaking; lightweight glass bottles for packaging

Domaine Sigalas embraces natural vineyard practices adapted to Santorini's environment, focusing on soil health and water conservation. While not certified organic or biodynamic, the estate’s dry-farmed, manual approach and minimal chemical use signify sustainable intent. Packaging choices are conscious but international transport contributes to carbon footprint.
