✨ Tekniske specifikationer
While Fidelitas is highly celebrated for its powerful Red Mountain reds, winemaker Charlie Hoppes applies the same meticulous precision to this limited-production Sauvignon Blanc. Sourced from select, cooler vineyard sites within the Columbia Valley, such as the acclaimed Boushey Vineyard, this wine is crafted to capture Washington's intense daytime sun alongside its cool desert nights. To build complexity, the winemaking team often utilizes a combination of stainless steel tanks, concrete eggs, and neutral French oak barrels for fermentation and aging. This thoughtful cellar regimen preserves the grape's bright, vibrant citrus and tropical fruit characteristics while imparting a beautifully rounded texture and a distinctive mineral edge, offering a sophisticated and structured white wine that stands proudly alongside the estate's robust red portfolio.
🍾 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.
