Join us on this day to explore the wines of Orpheus & The Raven

Orpheus & The Raven is about passion, music, poetry and inspirational collaboration. It’s about stories and connection, beauty and fulfilling dreams. This all clearly culminates in their exquisite and unique wines.

“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 us Orpheus to see the Light again, and once more turn his face towards the sun.”

Etienne Louw’s pivotal part in this collaboration, besides being one of the founders, is as the guy who makes the wine. He was winemaker at Altydgedacht for many years while working on this project on the side. The time however has finally come for Etienne to focus on this passion full-time, stepping out of all other involvements.
The 42 Blend has been a firm favourite on our shelves for some years now, with new Ravens being added over the years as Etienne finds interesting parcels to work with. Join us for an exploration of passionate wines from 11am till 2pm.
