What is Nouveau?
Nouveau Wine Weekend, based on the French Beaujolais Nouveau celebration, which is named after the region in which it was founded, was launched in 1985 and is spearheaded by Galena Cellars winemaker Chris Lawlor-White. Held the third Friday of each November, it showcases the annual release of Le Beaujolais Nouveau, the practice of bottling the first wine of the harvest just a few weeks after fermentation.
