✨ Technical Specifications
Cooper's Hawk White is a signature, highly approachable off-dry white blend crafted to welcome wine lovers of all experience levels. Sourced from premium vineyards across California, this blend is designed to highlight bright fruitiness and a smooth, slightly sweet finish. The winemaking team focuses on cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant, fresh aromatics of the grapes, avoiding oak contact to maintain a crisp, clean profile. This wine embodies the Cooper's Hawk philosophy of community and accessible luxury, serving as a crowd-pleasing staple in their tasting rooms.
🍾 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.
