Capella 2007
Capella is or Premium-Zweigelt. The best Zweigelt grapes of the vintage have been selected for this very
special wine. Rigorous barrel ageing and ripe Flavours togehter form to a jutting red wine with great
potential just right for wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs. This wine represents the most distinguished
Zweigelt type and fully accentuates its strengths. The name Capella is derived from 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 2007 glistens wit a ruby-red core and violet reflections when poured
into the glass. Its bouquet is extensively complex. Starting with the distinguished cherrylike
fruitiness of a Zweigelt the Capella then developes strong and ripe flavours reminescent of dark berries
and fruits in Rum, supported by delicate smoky tones. The taste is nobly tart and shows ripe tannins and
an opulent structure. Beeing a very strong Zweigelt this wine goes especially well with red meat and
game.
Drinking suggestions: Needs about 3 years after the harvest 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).
