Product Description:
Just as Pinot Noir and Cinsaut each brought their unique characteristics to the Pinotage crossing, so too did they contribute to No.42. While Pinotage was mainly responsible for the 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 toasted oak. The palate is silky and elegant, and the finish is supported by a velvety tannin structure and modern oak aromas.

Vinifikation
Orpheus and the Raven No. 42 celebrates the heritage of Pinotage and its parent varieties. One of the biggest challenges in creating the No. 42 was finding vineyards that would result in the glorious whole we envisioned when all components were brought together. Consequently, grapes were sourced from vineyards in Walker Bay, Bottellary Hills, and Durbanville. 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. The Pinotage component was matured in a combination of French and American oak, while the Cinsaut and Pinot Noir were aged exclusively in French oak.
