Iowa Nouveau

Iowa Nouveau Wine Details
Price: $14.00 per bottle

Description: Iowa Nouveau, a light and fruity red wine, is our first wine of the season. Made entirely from grapes grown in our Mahaska County, Iowa, vineyards, Iowa Nouveau pairs well with vegetable and beef soups and stews as well as traditional holiday meals. 2011 Iowa Nouveau is best when consumed soon after purchase. Serve slightly chilled.

A french-american hybrid grape, with french Alsace Gamay origins, noted for producing deeply colored and strongly varietal wines considered by some to have a "Burgundian" character. Also known under the name Foch.
