Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The "Cuisse de Nymphe Emue" is a variety of pink, a very pale pink pulling slightly on the mauve. It was brought to France at the end of the 17th century, from Crimea. This colored Languedoc Rosé is a testament to exceptional sunshine. Fresh, with notes of apricots, peach, eucalyptus and raspberry brambles, Nymphe Émue Rosé delivers an extra textural element to the standard rosé equation.
