ORRTANNA, Pa. – Adams County Winery will release Boujee Nouveau, a bright, fruit-forward red wine inspired by the French tradition of vin nouveau, the first wine of the new harvest. Crafted by French winemaker Bernard Cannac, the wine captures the spirit of France’s most celebrated seasonal release right here in Pennsylvania.
Boujee Nouveau serves as the finale of the winery’s year-long Decades Series and reflects Cannac’s roots in southern France, where he first learned the art of winemaking on his grandparents’ vineyard.
“I remember the smell of fermentation filling the air and the joy of tasting that first young wine,” said Cannac. “It was a celebration of the harvest, of family, and of the season itself. Creating Boujee Nouveau here feels like bringing a little piece of home to Pennsylvania.”
Harvested and bottled within just a few months, Boujee Nouveau will be released on Saturday, Nov. 22, aligning closely with the traditional worldwide debut of nouveau wines. Its early release showcases the freshness of the 2025 Pennsylvania harvest and the quick artistry of Cannac’s winemaking. The wine bursts with bright berry aromas and pairs beautifully with roasted chestnuts, one of his favorite holiday treats.
Adams County Winery will celebrate the release with a Denim & Diamonds Y2K Party on that same day at The Farm Winery in Orrtanna. Guests can enjoy early-2000s music, a live DJ, themed games and signature dishes from Cousins Maine Lobster, along with the first pours of Boujee Nouveau by the glass or bottle. The wine will also be featured as an optional tasting flight pour that weekend.
Boujee Nouveau will be available beginning Nov. 22 at both the Farm Winery in Orrtanna and the Gettysburg Wine Shop, as well as online for shipping to select states. Visit adamscountywinery.com or follow @adamscountywinery for details.
Adams County Winery opened its doors in 1975 in Orrtanna and is currently Pennsylvania’s fifth-oldest operating winery, as well as the Gettysburg area’s original winery. The Farm Winery location sits on more than 75 acres of rolling hills and farmland while operating out of an 1860’s registered historic bank barn. In 1988, Tears of Gettysburg was first bottled at the winery, and to this day, it remains one of their most popular wines, as well as one of the oldest continually made wines in Pennsylvania.
