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
Eternal Eight for those aspiring to a fuller-bodied and rich red for eternal occasions. The wine's deep, ruby colour immediately translates its depth and layered character with a plush bouquet of mulberry, blackcurrant, violet and pine. A subtle hint of hedgerow and rain on fresh earth adds a refreshing, herbal note to the perfumed nose. On taste, the wine is effortless to love, reintroducing a mulberry note with ripe strawberries and baskets brimming with freshly picked plums. The texture is velvety, entwining fruit and cinnamon spice to balance the lingering tangy and savoury nuances. Well balanced with an eternal finish.
