Akulumbo
Akuloumbο is one of the core wines of Oeno P, crafted by Paris Sigalas from fruit sourced in the Akrotiri–Akrotiri (Akulumbo) zone of Santorini. The vineyard is planted to old, ungrafted, basket-trained Assyrtiko vines, over 60 years of age, rooted in Santorini’s volcanic soils and shaped by the island’s extreme winds and dry climate.
The wine is fermented in stainless steel, allowing Assyrtiko’s natural tension, salinity and structure to remain untouched. It then rests on the lees for extended aging, gaining texture and depth without the influence of oak. Sigalas’s minimalist approach is consistent across all Oeno P bottlings: native yeasts, gentle handling, and no unnecessary interventions.
Akuloumbο is Santorini in its purest form. Sharp mineral definition, layered citrus, and the unmistakable volcanic profile that has made Assyrtiko one of Greece’s most important white grapes. A precise, clean expression built on old vines, careful selection and the signature clarity of Paris Sigalas.

The producer
OENO P is Paris Sigalas’s encore — a return to his roots and a masterclass in reinvention. From a humble cave winery in Oia, he crafts Assyrtiko with the precision of a mathematician and the soul of a poet. Everything here happens slowly, deliberately — grapes pressed like in Champagne, fermented in amphora, and left to rest on lees until they hum with quiet energy…. Read more
