Orpheus & The Raven Eternal Eight 2023

R243.00

Eternal Eight for those aspiring to a fuller-bodied and rich red for external 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 blackcurrant and mulberry notes with ripe strawberries and 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, luscious, full-bodied mouthfeel.

Description

The story of Orpheus is at once one that looks back and forward. A master of poetry and song, Orpheus is said to have been able to inspire animals, trees and rocks to move to his music. But he carries with him the tragedy of having looked back at the most critical moment, as he tried to guide his wife Eurydice safely from the depths of the Underworld and in so doing, lost her forever.

In our story, it is the Raven who helps Orpheus to see the light again, and once more turn his face towards the sun. Orpheus & the Raven – winemakers of bespoke, premium wines, lovers of art and music, creators without constraint.
