Orpheus and the Raven is the creation of two friends — Brenden Schwartz and Etienne Louw — under their collaborative label, The Vinoneers. Brenden, the founder of Bravo Design, and Etienne, a seasoned winemaker and musician, conceived the brand as an expression of their alter egos, blending storytelling, philosophy, and wine. Inspired by mythology, Orpheus — the master of poetry and song — embodies vision and creativity, while the Raven, a nod to the Schwartz family name, represents support and encouragement. Together, they reflect the spirit of their partnership and the essence of their wines.

TASTING NOTES
This wine shows a deep ruby red hue with a complex nose of mulberry, blackcurrant, subtle spice, and a touch of violet. The palate is juicy and elegant, confirming the dark fruit profile alongside hints of ripe plum, tomato leaf, and tobacco. Soft, velvety tannins carry through to a seamless finish.
