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
Brimming with blueberry, blackcurrant, and wild cherry, this wine unfolds with spicy hints of rhubarb, Szechuan pepper, violets, and lavender. Savoury notes of tilled earth and dried porcini add depth. The palate is vibrant and textured, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and a pure, sweet-sour balance wrapped around a mineral core. Elegant and poised, with the promise of even greater complexity over time.
