Prologue is not the obvious move from Tyrnavos, and that is exactly why it works. A traditional-method sparkling rosé built from Assyrtiko and Limniona, it brings together tension, lift, and a distinctly Greek point of view. For buyers looking beyond the usual sparkling references, this is a bottle that adds originality without drifting into novelty for novelty’s sake.

The fruit comes from Paleomylos in Tyrnavos, at 200 to 300 metres altitude, where sandy-clay soils rich in flint help shape the wine’s drive and precision. The climate is dry and warm, rainfall is limited, and the vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically. With vines ranging from 10 to 28 years old, the base wine has both freshness and enough structure to handle bottle ageing well.

The cellar work is focused and exact. Prologue is made by the traditional method, with the second fermentation in bottle and 18 months on the lees. That time matters. It brings texture, persistence, and a more serious sparkling profile. On a list, this is a strong fit for aperitif service, seafood pairings, and buyers who want a Greek sparkler with real intent.
