Fidelitas Optu White Wine 2022, Red Mountain, Washington

Our 2022 Red Mountain Optu White is a traditional Bordeaux Blanc blend sourced from 30+ year old vines at Klipsun and Artz vineyards. These mature blocks sit at the bottom of the appellation where the cooling effects of the Yakima River are greater helping to preserve natural acidity and freshness in white varietals. In the glass the wine is a bright gold color typical of a barrel fermented white Bordeaux. On the aroma we get honeyed tropical fruit coming from the warm weather Semillon, paired with grapefruit and lemon pith from the Sauvignon Blanc. The palate is rich but balanced with a mouthwatering acidity – passionfruit, white peach, and honeydew. While sipping on Optu White we think of enjoying with richer Pacific Northwest seafood dishes or Holiday spreads. 2022 vintage: 63% Sauvignon Blanc, 37% Semillon. Appellation: Red Mountain. Vineyard designation: 88% Klipsun Vineyard, 12% Artz Vineyard.
