Nouveau Fest

After a decade of hosting its annual Harvest Festival, Soldier Creek Winery is introducing something new this year: Nouveau Fest. Slated for November 23rd from 1-6 p.m., the festival will celebrate the debut of the winery’s first Nouveau wine, Prairie Nouveau. But what exactly does “Nouveau” mean? In French, “nouveau” translates to “new,” and a Nouveau wine is just that: a wine harvested and fermented this season, ready for immediate enjoyment. Unlike traditional wines, which require months or even years of aging, a Nouveau wine is light, fresh, and designed for early consumption. Another exciting feature of the Nouveau Fest is the label design. In true Beaujolais Nouveau fashion, Prairie Nouveau will feature a brand-new work of art on its label each year. Mark your calendar for November 23rd, when you can experience this fresh and festive wine firsthand!
