Orpheus & The Raven No. 42 Cape Blend 2022 (750ml)

Platter 2025 5* wine and Platter Guide Red Blend with Pinotage Wine Of The Year 2025.
 
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.
 
Sold as a single 750ml bottle.
