About this wine

Silke lives squarely in the Bordeaux-inspired South African camp, but with enough richness and warmth to stay generous.

Tasting Note

Ripe cherries and blueberries, undergrowth, herbs, licorice, coffee, firm but integrated tannins and a long warm finish.

In the glass

Deep, intense red.

In the nose

Ripe dark fruit, especially cherries and blueberries, with herbs, licorice, coffee and undergrowth.

On the palate

Textured and powerful, rich and soft, with firm but integrated tannins and a long spicy finish.

Orpheus & The Raven

Orpheus & The Raven is a small, quality-driven project crafting site-specific wines from old vineyards across the Western Cape. With a strong focus on Syrah, Chenin Blanc and Rhône varieties, the wines show purity, spice and texture rather than excess power. The approach is minimalist and terroir-focused, producing elegant, food-friendly expressions.
