Nouvelle is wrapped in the belief that wine can be joyful and possess the ability to bring people together in the here and now. With that in mind and in the spirit of striving continually for a broader and more inclusive community, Nouvelle in this, its third year, is expanding its footprint. Nouvelle 2021 will be bringing the vivid, joyful, refreshing wines from 15 organic New Zealand winemakers to venues across Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch.

For more information on where to find the wines and to learn more about who is taking part, read on!

Whose wine is being poured?

Nouvelle is about people; bringing them together and celebrating them. At the heart of celebration are those who grow and make the wines. It is through them that the character of the land is translated. This year, we have 15 wineries from all across New Zealand making wines for Nouvelle. Although philosophies and personalities differ, they are dedicated to organic viticulture and a belief that less is more in winemaking.
