The first word of our name, "Milia", derives from the word "familia", which of course means family and sounds almost the same in all three languages of our heritage: Greek, Italian and Portuguese. No matter the origin, this value remains of the utmost importance. Honouring this long line of cultural heritage, both in distance and in history, "Milia" also stands for the Greek translation of "miles", which represents the distance between our countries of origin: Greece, Italy, Brazil & Portugal.
​
The second word of our name, "Riza" stands for those exact roots. A root will always symbolize a new beginning, a new life, something new.
The whole name stands for the combination of the above.
Our long heritage, our long roots and our belief in bringing a new kind of life to classic wine regions and grape varieties.​
