Description

Orpheus & The Raven No. 42 Cape Blend 2022

Orpheus and the Raven No.42 celebrates the heritage of Pinotage and its parent cultivars.

Grape Varietals & Region: Cape Blend of 56% Pinotage, 31% Pinot Noir & 13% Cinsaut from the sites of Walker Bay, Bottellary Hills and Durbanville

Taste Profile: While Pinotage was primarily responsible for structure and vibrant oak notes, Pinot Noir and Cinsaut contributed elegance and Old World sensibility. Ripe plum and cherry fruit on the nose with a hint of toasty oak. The entry on the palate is silky and elegant, and the finish is enhanced by a velvety tannin structure and modern oak flavours.

Winemaking Process: The grapes were sorted, crushed and vinified in a combination of open cement and closed stainless steel fermenters. 

After malolactic fermentation, the components were aged separately in oak barrels (30% new) for 18 months prior to blending and bottling. A combination of French and American oak was used in the Pinotage-fraction, while the Cinsaut and Pinot Noir were aged in French oak exclusively
