Milia Riza The Experiential Chardonnay Pinot Noir Extra Brut is the kind of sparkling wine you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again. Why? Because it's fresh, it has a truly unique complexity, and its finish is nothing short of unforgettable. After this, you might not look at any other bubbly the same way again!
Milia Riza is a boutique winery nestled in the heart of Nemea, Greece and they do just one thing: sparkling wines. Behind this bold decision is a cross-continental family partnership between Greece, Italy, Brazil, and Portugal, blending iconic grape varieties with deep-rooted expertise and innovative winemaking techniques.
Nancy Mazou and Stefano Stante, after years of studying and working abroad, returned to Greece with one mission: to showcase the unique terroir of Nemea through exceptional sparkling wines. And they’ve nailed it.
The Experiential is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, crafted using the traditional Champagne method. The first fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks, then finishes in used barrels, giving the wine its signature creamy texture. It’s bottled unfiltered after six months, with the second fermentation taking place in the bottle. A 27-month lees aging period adds remarkable depth and complexity, the kind even the most prestigious sparklings would envy.
This wine proves that sparkling isn’t just for special occasions, it makes every moment feel like one.
