Orpheus & The Raven (Vinoneers)
The Vinoneers were founded by two friends, Brenden Schwartz and Etienne Louw - a wine journey which brought together their distinct personalities and shared aspirations.
Brenden, owner of Bravo Design in Cape Town, and Etienne, a seasoned winemaker conceived of Orpheus and the Raven as alter-ego’s to ignite philosophical discussions and vinous storytelling.
The mythical character Orpheus, a master of poetry and song, could bend any living being to his will. Reciprocally, the Schwartz family name is celebrated as the Raven. Orpheus, symbolising forward vision, and the Raven, representing encouragement, mirror the core of their collaboration.
Inspired by Renaissance master Albrecht Durer, Schwartz’s ink drawings set the mood and expectation of wines with great depth and complexity. In addition, Louw’s background in engineering and insatiable love for music underscores precision and harmony in his winemaking style.
