✨ Technical Specifications
Cooper's Hawk Blanc de Blanc is an elegant sparkling wine crafted in the traditional 'white of whites' style, showcasing the bright fruit character and crisp acidity of California grapes. Sourced from premium vineyards across California's diverse growing regions, the grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to maintain a vibrant, refreshing profile. The winemaking team employs careful temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve the delicate aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus, complemented by a soft, creamy mousse. This sparkling wine captures the celebratory spirit of classic European sparkling traditions while expressing the approachable, fruit-forward style that defines contemporary American winemaking.
🍾 About the Producer
Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants was established in 2005 by entrepreneur Tim McEnery in Orland Park, Illinois, combining an upscale casual dining concept with an artisanal winery and tasting room. Rather than farming single-estate vineyards, the operation functions as a large-scale modern négociant and custom-crush producer, sourcing premium grapes and must primarily from leading American viticultural areas across California, Washington, and Oregon, as well as select international origins. Centralized vinification, blending, and barrel maturation take place at its dedicated Midwestern production facility under Vice President of Winemaking Rob Warren. The portfolio embraces an approachable, crowd-pleasing cellar philosophy focused on clean varietal expression, balanced oak integration, and food-friendly structures. Among its hallmark bottlings are California-sourced expressions such as Unoaked Chardonnay, Lux Chardonnay, Viognier, and the crisp, aromatic Riesling Gewürztraminer blend, alongside a diverse suite of methode-charmat sparkling and dessert offerings.
