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 Pinotage reveals layers of blueberry, raspberry, cranberry, and mulberry, lifted by floral hints of violet and lavender. Subtle oak influence adds notes of toasted almond, dark chocolate, and a touch of spice. The palate is round and elegant, with fine tannins supporting the vibrant fruit core. The 50% new oak is seamlessly integrated, adding depth without overshadowing the wine’s freshness and finesse.
