Canopus is our premium red, blended by using our very best vintage red wines of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Blaufränkisch. The individual wines are blended after they have been aged separately in Barriques for almost one year. The Cabernet Sauvignon primarily influences the wines character while the Merlot smoothens the adstringent tannins and provides the full body. The Blaufränkisch brings in the fruityness, which every high quality red wine like our Canopus should offer. We only blend the Canopus in years which allow us to yield grapes and wines of sufficient high quality. Therefore the blending proportions may also differ from year to year, according to our goal of reaching the highest possible quality level.

Colour

 :

Dark garnet-red colour with orange-red reflections on the edges.

Taste

 :

A very strong, opulent and full-bodied red wine with a higher tannin level. The taste is reminiscent of blackcurrant and blackberry, underlined with slight toasted aromas and a tang of coffee coming from the Barrique ageing.

Suits to

For opulent and spicy meals, with dark meat or as highlight at a big banquet.
