Beaujolais Nouveau

Posted 13 October 2011

Beaujolais nouveau is a scatted red wine made from Gamey grapes produced in the Beaujolais region of France.

It is the most popular  vin de premieur,  fermented for just a few weeks before being released for sale on the third Thursday of November.

This "Beaujolais Nouveau Day" sees heavy attention, with races to get the first bottles to different markets around the globe.

Hillside celebrates this lovely wine in different variations together with welcooked French food made by our French Chef Gerald.
