The m100 White is crafted by Fidelitas as an approachable, fresh, and vibrant expression of Washington State white winemaking. Under the direction of Charlie Hoppes, this wine is typically styled as a lively, aromatic blend that highlights the crisp fruit characteristics and bright acidity achievable in the Columbia Valley. Unlike their heavy, structured Red Mountain estate reds, the m100 White is designed for immediate enjoyment, utilizing clean fermentation techniques—mostly in stainless steel—to preserve the pure, expressive fruit notes of citrus, stone fruit, and subtle floral undertones.
