✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted by the legendary Charlie Hoppes, the Fidelitas '4040' Red is a premier Bordeaux-style blend that serves as a vibrant tribute to the unique terroir of the Red Mountain AVA in Washington State. Named after the address of the winery's tasting room on Red Mountain, this wine captures the essence of one of the Pacific Northwest's most prestigious wine-growing regions. Red Mountain is celebrated for its intense sunlight, sweeping winds, and gravelly, calcium-carbonate-rich soils, which together yield grapes of extraordinary concentration, thick skins, and firm structural tannins. The '4040' blend typically marries Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, sourced from top-tier estate and partner vineyards. Hoppes utilizes precise modern winemaking techniques and aging in French and American oak to soften the powerful Red Mountain tannins, creating a wine that is remarkably approachable in its youth yet possesses the structure to evolve beautifully over time.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Fidelitas blev grundlagt i 2000 af den erfarne vinmager Charlie Hoppes som et dedikeret håndværkshus med fokus på at udtrykke det unikke terroir i Washington States Red Mountain AVA. Tro mod sit latinske navn – troskab – arbejder vinhuset ud fra en kompromisløs filosofi om at forblive tro mod druesortens og vinmarkens autentiske karakter. Druerne høstes fra berømte parceller som Quintessence, Ciel du Cheval og deres egen Fidelitas Estate Vineyard, hvorefter vinfremstillingen sker i små, nøje kontrollerede partier med målrettet fadlagring på eg. Fidelitas er særligt anerkendt for sine kraftfulde, strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine på klassiske Bordeaux-sorter, herunder de roste enkeltmarks-Cabernet Sauvignons, Malbec samt husets signaturcuvée, Optu Red.
