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
The Orpheus & The Raven Conspiracy of Ravens 2021 is pale ruby, with the intensity of the colour bestowing this vivid, bejewelled quality to the wine. Laden with the berry richness of blueberry, black currant, and wild cherry, it reveals more spicy layers of rhubarb and Scheswan pepper as it evolves in the glass, etched with aromatic notes of violets and lavender. Freshly tilled earth and dried porcini add a vivid savoury tone. The wine coats every crevice in your mouth with its porcelain tannin and tart acidity. There is purity with an ethereally sweet and sour balance coiled around a mineral centre. Elegant and surefooted, conspiring to become much, much more.
Food Pairing
Grilled or slow-cooked sausages, beef, and lamb.
