Capella 2004
Capella is or Premium-Zweigelt. It is selected from the best grapes of the vintage 2004. Thorough barrel
ageing and ripe flavours complement to a jutting red wine with great potential which is much appreciated
by wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs. This wine represents the style of Zweigelt that brought it much
respect from all over the world in recent years. Its name is derived from Capella, a bright star in the
nights sky, inspired by the stardom of the Zweigelt variety and also by our Premium-Cuveé
Canopus. Together, Capella and Canopus form a exclusive team, fixed stars in red wine heaven.
Tasting notes: The Capella 2004 glistens wit a ruby-red core and violet reflections when poured
into the glass. Its bouquet is rich and complex. It starts with the typical distinguishing cherrylike
fruitiness of a Zweigelt and then developes a strong and ripe flavour reminescent of dark berries
preserved in rum and sugar. This impression is even more supported by a tenderly smoky tone. The taste
of the wine is tenderly tart and it and offers ripe tannins with an opulent structure. Beeing a very
strong Zweigelt this wine goes especially well with red meat and game.
Drinking suggestions: Needs 2 to 5 years to reach its optimum. After that it will at least be
good to drink for an equally long time. Serve at 12-13° C (53-56 F).
