✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Cooper's Hawk Petite Sirah is a bold and deeply expressive red wine that showcases the rich, ink-like intensity this heritage grape is famous for. Originally created in France in the late 1800s by botanist François Durif as a cross between Syrah and Peloursin, the grape struggled in its homeland but found its true spiritual home in the sun-drenched vineyards of California, where it was embraced under the name Petite Sirah. Sourced from premium California growers through Cooper's Hawk's innovative collaborative winemaking model, this wine captures the grape's signature characteristics: a dense, opaque purple hue, robust tannins, and concentrated dark fruit flavors. The winemaking team carefully manages the extraction and utilizes oak aging to soften the grape's naturally powerful structure, resulting in a plush, full-bodied wine that balances rustic power with modern elegance.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants blev grundlagt i 2005 af iværksætteren Tim McEnery i Orland Park, Illinois, og har siden udviklet sig til et af USA's mest omfattende vin- og gastronomikoncepter med hovedsæde i Downers Grove. Huset arbejder ud fra en nyskabende model, hvor førsteklasses druer hentes hjem fra anerkendte vinmarker i Californien, Italien, Spanien og Australien, mens selve vinifikationen, sammenstikningen og fadlagringen er samlet i Illinois. Filosofien i kælderen lægger vægt på tilgængelige, madvenlige og harmoniske vine, der er skabt til at komplementere et bredt spektrum af gastronomiske oplevelser. Cooper's Hawk er særligt anerkendt for sit store vinklubsortiment og en alsidig portefølje, anført af husets egne rødvinsblends som Camille-serien, Barrel Reserve og Old Vine Zinfandel samt klassiske enkeltdruevine og livlige mousserende vine.
