Capella 2009
Capella is or Premium-Zweigelt It is selected from the best grapes of the vintage 2009. 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 2009 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).
