Facing such a great terroir you can only stand in awe and respect. The effort to minimize interventions is aimed at enhancing the potential of the old vineyards. They seem to unfold their "memories" in the wine, giving great complexity and absolute balance. Without excesses, but full-bodied and rich, with charmingly ripe fruit along with multiple aromatic...
The grapes come from young vines, up to twelve years old. The entry level of the estate precisely follows the low intervention philosophy of the estate. The grapes undergo pre-fermentation maceration for 24 hours at a low temperature (8-10 C) followed by controlled slow fermentation and maceration with lees for about six months, followed by stabilisation...
Malvasia de Colares, which is genetically different from other varieties bearing the same name, is planted on the region's characteristic sandy soils with great care and effort to protect it from the strong, salt-laden Atlantic winds.

The wine was spontaneously fermented in barriques, demi-muids and...

It's as if a supercharger has exploded the overall taste experience. The tannins are the perfect wrapping to the oily texture...
Vidiano and Thrapsathiri from vineyards of the Rethymnon area at altitudes between 560-900m.

Iliana Malihin's classic - non-intrusive - winemaking with indigenous yeasts, minimal sulphites and no collage or filtration give a wine...
