✨ Technical Specifications
Cooper's Hawk Sparkling Moscato is a celebratory, sweet sparkling wine crafted from premium Muscat grapes sourced from California's sun-drenched vineyards. Utilizing the Charmat method to preserve the grape's intense, fresh aromatic profile, this wine captures the essence of the classic Italian style while showcasing vibrant California fruit. Historically, the Muscat grape is one of the oldest domesticated grape families in the world, dating back to antiquity, often associated with myths of ancient Greek and Roman banquets. Cooper's Hawk brings this ancient grape into a modern, festive light, offering a wine characterized by bright floral aromas of orange blossom, honeysuckle, and fresh peach, balanced by a lively, effervescent sparkle.
🍾 About the Producer
Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants was established in 2005 by entrepreneur Tim McEnery in Orland Park, Illinois, combining an upscale casual dining concept with an artisanal winery and tasting room. Rather than farming single-estate vineyards, the operation functions as a large-scale modern négociant and custom-crush producer, sourcing premium grapes and must primarily from leading American viticultural areas across California, Washington, and Oregon, as well as select international origins. Centralized vinification, blending, and barrel maturation take place at its dedicated Midwestern production facility under Vice President of Winemaking Rob Warren. The portfolio embraces an approachable, crowd-pleasing cellar philosophy focused on clean varietal expression, balanced oak integration, and food-friendly structures. Among its hallmark bottlings are California-sourced expressions such as Unoaked Chardonnay, Lux Chardonnay, Viognier, and the crisp, aromatic Riesling Gewürztraminer blend, alongside a diverse suite of methode-charmat sparkling and dessert offerings.
