2019 William Heritage Estate Grown Nouveau
Nouveau was traditionally made as a holiday wine in the Beaujolais region of France. The majority of the wines made in Beaujolais were of great quality and meant to age for years before release. The problem was that there was little wine available for the winemaking family and staff members closer to harvest for them to enjoy during the holiday months. They decided to bring in some early red grapes to crush and ferment without any use of oak barrels or need for aging. Essentially Nouveau means “new wine”. This offered a red wine that was suitable to bottle early and paired great with Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts.
Super fresh fun fruity red wine meant to be consumed young.
