Cooper's Hawk Gewurztraminer is a vibrant celebration of one of the wine world's most aromatic and historic grape varieties. While the grape's ancestry traces back to the alpine village of Tramin in Alto Adige, and its spiritual home lies in Alsace, this expression harnesses the cool-influenced valleys of California. Cooper's Hawk sources these grapes to capture the classic, exotic profile of the varietal. The winemaking team focuses on cold fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the intense, delicate aromatics of lychee, rose petals, and baking spices. The resulting style is typically off-dry, balancing a lush, textured mouthfeel with a bright thread of acidity that keeps the exotic fruit flavors lively and clean.
