Not only do Iliana’s wines offer a delicious taste of Crete’s uniquely precarious old vineyards, but they are directly helping to rebuild the land and support farmers whose livelihoods were destroyed in the wildfires or July 2022.
Already considered one of the brightest stars on today’s Greek wine scene, Iliana uses skin contact, extended lees ageing, and an assortment of ageing vessels to craft wines that crackle with energy and tension from indigenous varieties Vidiano, Thrapsathiri, and Liatiko.
