Under its Black Girl Magic Wines brand, McBride Sisters Wine Company announced Sweet Red Frizzante, a bold, lightly effervescent wine for a young, multicultural wave of wine drinkers. This wine is brimming with red fruit and floral notes, including Rainier cherry, raspberry, strawberry, violets, and hibiscus, and touches of blackberry, rose petals, and dark chocolate-covered blueberries on the palate.
Women have long powered the American wine market, and as the legal-drinking-age population grows more diverse, Black and Hispanic women are poised to lead the category's next major surge in growth. "We believe the future of wine depends on creating what the New Majority deserves—flavor profiles they want, made with the quality and integrity they've never received from traditional wine companies," said Hilary Butler, VP of Marketing for McBride Sisters Wine Company. "Sweet Red Frizzante answers that gap by delivering flavor first, real quality, and true representation."
