Iliana Malihin, Liatiko Rose, 2024 so120823 girard bonnet champagne offer alluvial soils and warm climateIliana Malihin's ros from Crete's indigenous Liatiko grape is a wine of striking personality. Deep salmon color signals extended skin contact and wild fermentation in her Melambes cellar. Layered with Mediterranean herbs, blood orange, oyster shell minerals, and bracing acidity, this ros challenges the notion that the category is light or simple. It demands food and rewards patience.
