• “ORPHEUS NEVER STOP SEARCHING”

    The journey began when the owners turned 42, experiencing a “middle-age” awakening—a reminder that life never offers all the answers. This resonates with anyone navigating the highs and lows of midlife.

    On one hand, there’s the wisdom of years; on the other, the growing awareness of mortality. This duality leads to the humbling realization that life’s deepest mysteries may remain forever unknown, urging us to savor the journey itself.

    As Socrates noted, “True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.”

    The label captures this theme: the Raven, seeking wealth, faces Orpheus, who seeks love. Both strive for insight yet confront the unanswered questions that drive the journey forward. No42 has become more than a number; it’s a symbol of opportunity woven into life.

    Colour – Bronze Cosmic Bronze embodies the essence of our red blend, mirroring the multifaceted nature of copper, a blend of metal alloys. Just as copper melds different elements, our wine brings the 2 parent cultivars, Pinot noir and Cinsaut, together with its progeny, Pinotage, to create this Cape blend.

  • No ordinary story & no ordinary Pinotage.

    “Blind belief in authority is the enemy of truth.” – Albert Einstein.

    Our journey honors the original Cape Rebels, whose grit and luck paved the way for legends. In 1925, crossing Pinot Noir with Cinsaut created a bold new cultivar: Pinotage. Though its future was uncertain, visionary winemakers transformed Pinotage into South Africa’s iconic gem. Against all odds, they secured its place on the world stage.

    This tale of Pinotage’s rise mirrors Orpheus & the Raven’s spirit of exploration, innovation, and defiance.

    Lucky No7 was our daring gamble. Symbolizing the original seven vineyards, this was our all-or-nothing wager to take a bold stand against conformity.

    The label brings this to life: Orpheus, gripping a Pinotage vine in one hand and an hourglass in the other, charges through swirling forces. Beside him, a skeletal figure nods to the past, while the Raven kneels, envisioning a bright future, urging the rebels never to surrender.

    Colour – Muscle car orange Muscle car orange projects a hue of power, symbolizing not only the influential and unique cultivar we cherish but also the steadfast commitment to standing up for one's beliefs against all odds. A token of freedom.

  • A Whisper of Mystery and Elegance.

    Conspiracy of Ravens beckons with tales of mystery and intrigue, with each sip unfolding layers of elegance and complexity. Aged in concrete eggs, this wine captures the essence of sophistication, weaving a narrative as rich and intricate as its flavours.

    The name draws inspiration from the collective noun for ravens, with the label artfully playing on the twisted nature of the term “conspiracy.” Three ravens are bound together by a golden thread — one around the eyes, one around the ears, and one around the beak — symbolizing the timeless legend of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Hidden on each side, two more ravens tug at the same golden thread, deepening the mystery and their silent conspiracy.

    This wine is a marvel — but keep it between us.

    Colour: Mystic Purple Evoking a sense of mystery and all things hidden, the conspiracy will never be solved.

  • Rise to the challenge, to the thrill of the fight. It's all gold tops and dance fights.

    The spirit of ancient legends comes alive with Eye of the Tiger, a bold Cinsault that embodies the perfect blend of strength and grace. Produced in limited quantities and aged in concrete eggs, this unique wine is finished with a glint of tiger’s eye, telling a story of resilience and artistry.

    The label captures a mesmerizing scene: Orpheus, clad in ancient Roman battle attire, engages in a dance fight with a prancing tiger, all while playing a Gibson Les Paul gold top guitar. This striking image symbolizes the harmony between power and finesse, reflecting the dance of flavours in every bottle.

    Colour – Gold top Introducing Gold top, a reflection of craftsmanship and artistry.
