Orpheus & the Raven

Orpheus & the Raven is a project of pure creativity, unbound by tradition and constraint.

The story of Orpheus is at once one that looks back and forward. A master of poetry and song, Orpheus is said to have inspired animals and even 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 this wine story, the Raven helps Orpheus see the Light again and once more turn his face towards the sun. Together, winemaker Etienne Louw and designer Brenden Schwartz have created this beautiful brand celebrating their creativity, love for music and the magic possible with premium and characterful wines.

Thai Fish Soup

This sour-salty soup marries perfectly with our mystery wine and will get you hooked comes summer or winter.

Serves 4

  • 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 medium shallots, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 lemongrass stalks, bottom third only, tough outer layers removed, finely chopped
  • 2 red chiles, finely chopped
  • 3 medium tomatoes, seeds removed, coarsely chopped
  • 750g hake cut into 2 cm pieces
  • Seasalt
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce
  • ⅓ cup coarsely chopped dill and/or basil

Heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, lemongrass, and chillies and cook, occasionally stirring for about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, smashing them with the back of the wooden spoon and stir until the tomatoes fall apart and the mixture is slightly thickened, about another 5 minutes. Pour 5 cups cold water into the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, so the broth is at a bare simmer. Add the fish to the pot; season lightly with salt (keep in mind the fish sauce will add extra salt). Cook until fish is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat; add lime juice and fish sauce. Taste and season taste. Stir in herbs and ladle into bowls.
