✨ Tekniske specifikationer

The Canyons Vineyard, nestled on the northern slopes of Washington State's acclaimed Red Mountain AVA, provides a dramatic terroir for this exceptional Malbec. Shaped by the cataclysmic Missoula Floods of the last ice age, the vineyard features steep, canyon-like topography that channels winds and traps the intense heat of the desert sun. This unique microclimate, combined with gravelly, calcium-carbonate-rich soils, allows the Malbec grapes to develop thick skins, deep color, and concentrated flavors while retaining a vibrant natural acidity. Crafted by winemaker Charlie Hoppes, this wine showcases the power and structure characteristic of Red Mountain, refined through careful aging in French oak to highlight the vineyard's distinctive mineral and dark fruit profile.

🍾 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.
