✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the sun-drenched, wind-swept slopes of the Red Mountain AVA in Washington State, the Fidelitas Syrah is a masterful expression of one of the region's most exciting grape varieties. While winemaker Charlie Hoppes is celebrated for his Bordeaux-style blends, his work with Syrah reveals the dramatic, rugged beauty of Red Mountain's unique terroir. Sourced from premier vineyard sites like Ciel du Cheval and the estate's own plantings, this wine benefits from the intense diurnal temperature shifts and low-nutrient, gravelly soils of the appellation. The result is a Syrah of immense concentration and character, balancing rich, dark fruit flavors with the classic savory complexity—such as cured meats, black pepper, and crushed stone—that makes Washington Syrah world-class. It is a testament to the winery's precision and deep connection to this distinctive desert landscape.
🍾 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.
