After her studies in oenology and her passage through the wineries of Crete, in 2019, at the age of just 26, Iliana Malihin decided to open her own winery, on the island she loved more than any other one.

Her great and persistent effort to search for special vineyards with Vidiano, brought her to Melampes of Rethymnon. Suddenly in front of her eyes was a rare ungrafted vineyard, for which revival, the person was to be the key.

She gradually gained the trust and respect of producers, other wine professionals, and the wine lovers, through her serious work in the vineyard and her careful vinifications.
