✨ wine.spec_sheet
This aromatic white blend from Cooper's Hawk brings together two of the world's most celebrated Germanic grape varieties: Riesling and Gewürztraminer. Historically originating in the cool-climate river valleys of Europe, these grapes are famous for their intense aromatics and expressive character. In this contemporary American interpretation, the winemaking team masterfully balances the distinct personalities of both varietals. Riesling provides a backbone of vibrant, crisp acidity and bright citrus notes, while Gewürztraminer infuses the blend with its signature exotic perfume of lychee, rose petals, and warm baking spices. Sourced from premium vineyards, the grapes are cool-fermented in stainless steel to preserve their delicate, primary fruit esters, resulting in an off-dry, highly aromatic, and beautifully balanced wine that highlights the synergy of its components.
