Cooper's Hawk Winter Red is a highly anticipated seasonal release designed to capture the cozy, festive spirit of the colder months. This sweet red wine is thoughtfully infused with a proprietary blend of warm mulling spices, including cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and orange peel. The tradition of spiced wines stretches back to antiquity, where the Romans crafted 'Conditum Paradoxum' and medieval Europeans brewed 'Glühwein' to ward off the winter chill. Cooper's Hawk honors this rich heritage by creating a modern, crowd-pleasing rendition that can be enjoyed at room temperature or gently warmed, filling the home with inviting aromas of holiday baking spices and sweet red fruit.
