Las Jaras 'Slipper Sipper' Nouveau, North Coast, California 2025
A Nouveau is born! Nouveau is the first wine of the vintage, a style born in Beaujolais, where Gamay is made by carbonic maceration: whole clusters sealed in tanks filled with carbon dioxide for a few days. Natural-wine pioneer Jules Chauvet championed it in the mid-20th century for light, fruity, delicious wines, and that's essentially how Las Jaras made this one, from old-vine Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. Mega delicious.
Tasting Notes
"Blackberry, red plum and cocoa on the nose, then gobs of raspberry, chocolate-covered cherry and boysenberry on a juicy palate. Zippy, balanced acidity and fine, cocoa-powder tannins keep it fresh." — Harvest Wine Shop
