It's Gamay Nouveau Party Time!
Most folks will have their Gamay Nouveaus bottled by now and will be getting ready to have their Gamay Nouveau parties in the next few weeks.
For those of you who missed out on the Gamay Nouveau kits here’s a refresher:
The Selection International French Gamay Nouveau kit is our chance to make Beaujolais Nouveau. 100% of the grape that goes into Beaujolais wines are Gamay and the Gamay grapes in the Selection Gamay Nouveau are all sourced from Beaujolais!
‘Nouveau’ wines are not about great vintages, ‘futures’ or ‘nose in the air’ wine tastings. They’re about making a good wine and enjoying it right away. Gamay Nouveau is ready on the day you bottle it and is fresh and juicy, with a bold purple-pink colour and bursting with an amazing array of fruit aromas, its low tannin levels makes it extremely drinkable when young. They say it’s the only white wine that is actually red! Lightly chilled (13°C/55°F) it has happy red berry aromas along with hints of banana, pear, cotton-candy!
It’s Party Time…
And the parties have started! Brian Deutscher from Brandon kicked things off with family and friends when they were in Saskatchewan for a family wedding this past weekend. Brian said of the Gamay:
“It was excellent, attendees were amazed at how great a wine could taste that was only bottled two days earlier.”
Brian proudly shows off his Gamay Nouveau... "Vintage 2 Days Ago!"
Gamay customers are planning Gamay Parties around the weekend of November 18th (the traditional release day for Nouveau wines) and there’s a big one in Virden at the start of the week.
