ABOUT THE PRODUCER:

ABOUT THE LABEL: “Marzae Sauvage wines are inspired by the edible flora & fauna of New England. R. typhina (staghorn sumac) is one of two very common sumac species that can be seen dotting Massachusetts roadsides. Closely related to the Middle Eastern variety of sumac used as a spice, native sumacs are well known for producing “pink lemonade-type” drinks—a flavor profile that instantly comes to mind with rosé.” (marzaewines.com)
