Nouveau wine

Nouveau wine, often referred to as Beaujolais Nouveau, is a young red wine produced in the Beaujolais region of France. It is made from Gamay grapes and is known for its light, fruity flavor, typically featuring notes of cherry and raspberry. The wine is released just weeks after the harvest, on the third Thursday in November, making it a popular seasonal celebration. Nouveau wines are meant to be enjoyed fresh and are often served slightly chilled. Their vibrant character and low tannins make them approachable for many wine drinkers.
