New and different, often fashionably so: “The perfect [Los Angeles] combination: a gas station that is also a nouveau convenience store” (David Mermelstein).
[From phrases such as ART NOUVEAU.]
[noo-VOH] French for "new" that, when applied to wine, refers to one that is very young. Because of the influence of France's beaujolais nouveau wines, this word has taken on a meaning relating to this particular wine's style-light, fruity, youthful, and lacking aging potential. These nouveau wines are almost always released shortly after harvest. Many of them are made using carbonic maceration, a fermentation technique designed to enhance their intensely fruity yet light-bodied (see body) characteristics. The term nouveau is also used in the United States. Italians call this style of wine novello or vino novello.
