Fidelitas Optu White 2007, Washington

WINEMAKER'S NOTES

Pineapple, pear and citrus dominate this blend of classical varietals. Hints of vanilla and a slight hint of toastiness from fermentation in French oak barrels are also present. This blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc will age for years to come and become even more complex over time.

The 2007 harvest proved yet again the consistency this AVA can produce. We had a typical spring and bud break started around mid-April. In May there was burst of heat for a week that lead to a smaller canopy to allow more light to filter through that resulted in great overall flavor development. Yields were slightly smaller than expected, but the overall harvest temperatures were ideal. The hot temperatures lead to smaller berries with concentrated flavors and a harvest that was condensed into six weeks.
