Orpheus & The Raven
“The answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe and Everything is 42” – Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. In their search for answers to the great questions of life, Orpheus and the Raven’s eyes were opened by the light of the present. But the curious pair knew that beyond the light, the universe had more to offer. “True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing, Orpheus,” said the Raven. “Then the answer to the ultimate question is obviously 42!” replied Orpheus in delight.
Description
Just as Pinot Noir and Cinsaut brought its unique characteristics to the crossing of Pinotage, so too is its contribution in No.42. While Pinotage is primarily responsible for structure and vibrant oak notes, Pinot Noir and Cinsaut contributes elegance and Old World sensibility. Ripe plum and black cherry fruit on the nose with a hint of toasty oak. Spice and floral notes prevail while nuances of pepper, liquorice and dill adds to the wine’s complex character. The entry on the palate is silky and elegant. The wine glides over your palate with a burst of cherry fruit, while the flavour of fried porcini, leather and sandalwood laces the wine together. The finish is enhanced by a velvety tannin structure and modern oak flavours.
Food Pairing
Grilled or slow-cooked sausages, beef, and lamb.
