The Estate

One place, one mission

One place, one mission

In the beautiful villages of Rethymno — Mélambes, Fourfouras and Meronas — high up where the mountain meets the sky, Iliana Malíhin has been reviving forgotten vineyards since 2019. Stone, vine and heroic viticulture: a place that speaks for itself through the glass.

Identity

“We don’t intervene in the wine; the aim is that it can reflect the character of the place it was born.”
