Orpheus & The Raven The Swansong Gewurtztraminer 2023
“Dont wait for tomorrow, Orpheus! The art of life is in the moment, Tomorrow’s song may never be heard.” cawed the dancing Raven.
Experience the transformation from demise to rebirth: where vineyards once faced their final curtain call, now emerges a narrative of preservation and rejuvenation. Instead of bidding farewell to the last verse, we’re crafting a symphony of revival, breathing new life into these vineyards for generations to come.
This tale resonates with us all—life unfolds in the present, and the melody of tomorrow may never grace our ears. Don’t defer your dreams to another day; seize control of your destiny and manifest them now.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Gewurztraminer from a relatively youthful block on southern slopes in Durbanville, simply named A11
Taste Profile: In the glass, it unveils a medium-yellow hue with a radiant golden undertone that hints at its richness. The aroma is lifted and perfumed, unfolding in layers that offer a bouquet of lychee, lemongrass, ripe finger lime, citrus nougat, tinned apricots, rose petals, preserved lemon, macadamia butter and an aromatic undertone of baby apricots and jasmine.
The wine continues its elegant presence on the palate, guided by a compelling interplay of acidity and fruit. As the flavours promised on the aroma persist and underline the wine's integrity, the pronounced acidity provides structure and balance to the wine's opulent fruit profile. While full-bodied in the way the fruit coats your mouth, adding richness, it maintains its lean finesse with remarkable poise. A nuanced mineral character adds a pithy texture and briny aftertaste for a lovely savoury twist.
Winemaking Process: De-stemmed, crushed and pressed without any skin-contact. Cold fermentation with yeast strain VIN 13 at 15˚Celsius to dryness. The wine was matured on gross lees for three months prior to bottling.
