✨ Tekniske specifikationer
While Washington's Red Mountain is world-renowned for its powerful, sun-drenched red wines, winemaker Charlie Hoppes of Fidelitas has long championed the potential of white Bordeaux varieties in the Columbia Valley. The Fidelitas Semillon is a brilliant showcase of this dedication, offering a beautifully textured, rich, and complex white wine that stands out in a region dominated by reds. Sourced from select older-vine plantings in the region, this Semillon is crafted using a combination of stainless steel and neutral French oak fermentation. This thoughtful approach preserves the grape's bright, natural acidity and vibrant citrus notes while coaxing out the signature waxy, viscous mouthfeel and subtle fig and melon undertones that make aged Semillon so legendary. It represents a sophisticated nod to the classic dry whites of Graves, reimagined through the lens of Washington State's unique terroir.
🍾 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.
