✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Boushey Vineyard, located in the cooler Yakima Valley AVA, is one of Washington State's most legendary vineyard sites, meticulously managed by pioneering grower Dick Boushey. While Fidelitas is deeply associated with the warm, powerful terroir of Red Mountain, winemaker Charlie Hoppes has sourced fruit from Boushey to craft a distinct, elegant Red Wine. This bottling showcases a different side of Washington terroir—marked by Boushey's signature bright acidity, refined tannins, and distinctive savory, mineral undertones. The wine typically marries the structured richness of Bordeaux varietals with the vibrant, peppery fruit of Syrah, benefiting from French oak aging that respects the vineyard's unique, cooler-climate character.
🍾 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.
