✨ Technical Specifications
Cooper's Hawk Sparkling Rosé showcases the winery's innovative approach to sourcing premium grapes from California's top vineyards to craft approachable yet festive sparkling wines. This sparkling rosé is made using the Charmat method to preserve the bright, fresh fruit character of the grapes. It offers a lively bouquet of fresh strawberry, raspberry, and red cherry, complemented by delicate floral undertones and a crisp, refreshing finish. The wine represents the modern, welcoming tasting room culture pioneered by Cooper's Hawk, designed to bring the spirit of California's wine country to a broader audience of wine lovers.
🍾 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.
