✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Camille series by Cooper's Hawk represents the pinnacle of their winemaking portfolio, designed as a collection of limited-release, premium red blends that express distinct personality traits. 'Camille Brave' is crafted to embody strength and intensity, drawing inspiration from bold, robust California red blends. Sourced from prestigious vineyards across California's top winegrowing regions, this wine is typically anchored by Zinfandel, which provides luscious dark berry flavors and a touch of black pepper spice, complemented by structured varietals like Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. The winemaking team focuses on achieving a harmonious balance between ripe, concentrated fruit, velvety tannins, and toasted oak integration from careful barrel aging. Each release in the Camille series is celebrated for its artistic bottle design and its expressive, full-bodied character, making it a favorite among members of the Cooper's Hawk Wine Club.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants blev grundlagt i 2005 i Orland Park, Illinois, af iværksætteren Tim McEnery. Konceptet forener et uformelt, men eksklusivt restaurantmiljø med et håndværkspræget vineri og smagelokale. I stedet for at dyrke egne vinmarker fungerer vineriet som et moderne, storstilet négociant- og custom-crush-foretagende. Her opkøbes førsteklasses druer og druemost fra førende amerikanske appellationer i Californien, Washington og Oregon samt fra udvalgte internationale vinområder. Den centrale vinifikation, sammenstikning og fadlagring varetages på vineriets eget produktionsanlæg i Midtvesten under ledelse af Vice President of Winemaking Rob Warren. Kælderfilosofien lægger vægt på imødekommende og bredt appellerende vine med et rent sortspræg, harmonisk fadpræg og en madvenlig struktur. Blandt husets signaturvine finder man californiske aftapninger som Unoaked Chardonnay, Lux Chardonnay, Viognier og et aromatisk blend af Riesling og Gewürztraminer med frisk syre, ledsaget af et varieret udvalg af mousserende vine fremstillet på Charmat-metoden samt søde dessertvine.
