Enjoy it now or cellar for a few more years. No need to decant before serving.
Classic Chenin Blanc scents of lemon zest, peach, honey and vanilla mingle on the nose. This wine was sourced from 47-year-old vines in beautiful Durbanville, which is part of the wider Cape Town wine region. The special terroir imparts an intriguing edge of cedar spice, which can be detected as the wine opens up.
Orpheus and the Raven was founded in 2013, by wine-maker Etienne Louw and graphic designer Brenden Schwartz. Visuals have always been an important part of this winery, and each bottle features a detailed, baroque-style illustration - making them extra-collectible. Over the years, the pioneering duo have also won multiple gold medals at the Winemag Wine Label Design Awards.
The wine itself is also visually stunning, appearing golden yellow in the glass. For white wine, it lies on the fuller-bodied side, with a voluptuous, honeyed mouthfeel and hints of sweetness. Look for notes of butterscotch, ripe peach and oak, coupled with an incisive edge of lemon and bitter almonds. It is a truly excellent example of South African Chenin Blanc, and spent a total of 12 months maturing before release. Enjoy it alongside roast chicken, pasta salad, or goat’s cheese.

Orpheus & The Raven Chenin Blanc 2024
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
