✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted by acclaimed winemaker Charlie Hoppes, the Fidelitas Red Table Wine (often designated simply as their Columbia Valley Red Wine) serves as an inviting introduction to the estate's masterful blending philosophy. Drawing from select vineyard sites across Washington's Columbia Valley, this cuv e showcases the region's signature style: intense fruit concentration balanced by vibrant natural acidity, a result of the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts in the high desert. The wine is typically aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels, which imparts subtle oak spice and rounds out the structured tannins. It represents the pioneering spirit of Washington State winemaking, blending traditional Bordeaux varieties to create a harmonious, approachable, and deeply expressive red.
🍾 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.
