✨ Technical Specifications
Cooper's Hawk Pinot Gris is crafted from premium grapes sourced from California's sun-drenched vineyards, where the warm days and cool maritime breezes allow the fruit to develop bright acidity alongside rich, expressive fruit flavors. Pinot Gris, a color mutation of Pinot Noir with a rich history originating in Burgundy, has found a highly successful modern expression in California's diverse microclimates. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, this wine is designed to preserve the pure, vibrant fruit character of the grape without any oak influence. The result is a clean, refreshing, and highly aromatic white wine that showcases the winery's signature style of making premium wine approachable and food-friendly.
