Beaujolais Nouveau in Waitrose South Harrow

I'd been disappointed not to find the Nouveau Beaujolais in Morrisons, Hatch End, and Tesco's smaller branches in Hatch End and Watford. But here is the Nouveau Beaujolais from Waitrose


Just arrived in London in November 2015. How far does the Beaujolais Nouveau travel? Not just to London, England.
How long does it remain 'nouveau' new? Until the next one is 2016? 

I was told that Beaujolais Nouveau of the most recent year was seen as late as June the following year in Jasons in Singapore a few years ago. ((NB In Tanglin Mall and Hillview II are the Market Place shops, linked other brands of the Jasons group.)

What is made from? Gamay grapes.
