✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted using the traditional méthode champenoise, the Cooper's Hawk Lux Sparkling Brut represents the premium tier of the winery's sparkling program. Sourced from high-quality vineyards across California, this wine undergoes its secondary fermentation directly in the bottle, followed by a dedicated period of aging on the lees. This classic technique coaxes out delicate, persistent bubbles and a refined complexity, balancing bright California fruit notes of green apple and pear with the sophisticated, toasted brioche undertones characteristic of fine sparkling wines.
