✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Canyons Vineyard, nestled on the northern edge of Washington State's famed Red Mountain AVA, provides the dramatic backdrop for this exceptional red blend. Defined by its unique topography of deep, wind-swept ravines and steep slopes, this vineyard experiences intense daytime heat coupled with cool evening breezes funneled through the canyons. This extreme diurnal shift, paired with the region's characteristic sandy loam and gravelly caliche soils, coaxes out grapes of extraordinary concentration, thick skins, and vibrant acidity. Winemaker Charlie Hoppes masterfully harnesses this rugged terroir to craft a wine defined by its deep, dark fruit profile, robust yet velvety tannins, and a distinctive mineral undertone. The Canyons Red stands as a compelling testament to the power and structural elegance that Red Mountain is celebrated for globally.
🍾 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.
