A unique, extreme expression of Assyrtiko, bottled unfiltered and characterized by an extremely rich body and high alcohol content. Really ripe fruit made by a late harvest, well-integrated minerality and an impressively long aftertaste.
Inspired by the underwater volcano known as Kolumbo, which the locals of Oia called "Akulumbo". Akulumbo is a white wine from 100% Assyrtiko late harvest, which has been fermented and matured on its lees in a 1600 liter amphora for 24 months and perfectly expresses the uniqueness of Santorini's terroir. It is released in an extremely limited number of bottles.

| Producer's Description | “Akulumbo” is a white wine from 100% Assyrtiko grapes from overrippe harvest (mid- September), a month after the regular harvest, that has been fermented and matured with its lees in a 1600-liter amphora for 24 months. As a result we get this unique expression of Assyrtiko, characterized by exceptional rich body, long aftertaste, and high alcohol content. This Assyrtiko, in its most extreme form, expresses perfectly the uniqueness of Santorini’s terroir. Inspired by the underwater volcano known as Kolumbo, where the locals of Oia used to call it “Akulumbo”. |
