Iliana Malihin’s Old Vine Vidiano is a full-bodied white with a buttery taste and beautifully balanced acidity. Perfect for pairing with food like fatty fish or spice-heavy dishes.

Iliana Malihin established her winery in 2019, by sourcing local grapes from farmers committed to her exacting cultivation standards. All the wines are created under Iliana’s expert supervision, using philosophies of organic and biodynamic cultivation and minimum intervention.

The Vidiano grapes are hand-picked from the vineyards in Amygdalos and Rhea. The vineyards consist of 90-140-year-old bush vines - pre-phylloxera - and the grapes are pressed without destemming and vinified using long extraction with fermentation on the indigenous yeast at 20°C. Matured on the fine lees for 12 months in stainless steel tanks. During maturation, Cretan music is played for the wine - a vital step in the vinification process.  It is bottled without fining and with very low sulphite use.

Vintages of this wine from after 2020, have been split into two different labels: Vidiano old vines - Amygdalos and Vidiano old vines - Rhea, each from single vineyards.
