Canned wine brand Archer Roose Wines has launched its first new red varietal in five years: Pinot Noir.
After tasting hundreds of samples from winemakers across the world, Archer Roose Wines found a partner in Australian winemaker Courteney Wills. They worked together to craft a Pinot Noir featuring notes of red berries and a hint of clove, according to the company.
“This has been years in the making and a labor of love. Pinot Noir has a lighter profile and is ideally served chilled, making it well-suited to our canned format. But it is a delicate and finicky grape, so we gave ourselves time to find just the right vines and winemaker to work with,” said Marian Leitner-Waldman, CEO and founder of Archer Roose Wines in a news release. “Australia produces some of the most interesting, and frankly, underrated wines in the world. We can’t wait for our fans to try it.”
Pinot Noir marks the seventh varietal the canned wine brand has added to its portfolio and the second red wine SKU. The introduction comes on the heels of a record growth year, according to the company, exceeding 100,000 9LE cases sold annually and seeing its Malbec varietal grow by 86%.
Four-packs of Archer Roose Wines Pinot Noir are now available for purchase on Archer Roose Wine’s and at retailers, bars, restaurants and entertainment venues across the country, according to the company, including Sprouts Farmers Market, Regal Cinemas and many others. At 13% ABV, Archer Roose Wines are vegan and gluten-free and made from sustainably grown grapes. MSRP is $18.99 per 4-pack, but pricing may vary by state and retailer.
