Orpheus & The Raven Old Bush Vine Chenin Blanc 2024 750ml is a premium South African Chenin Blanc crafted from a single vineyard of old bush vines planted in 1973 in Durbanville, Western Cape. Produced in limited quantities, this exceptional wine represents the spiritual origin of Orpheus & The Raven and celebrates over 50 years of remarkable vine heritage. Hand-harvested grapes undergo a combination of wild fermentation in amphora and barrel fermentation, followed by partial malolactic fermentation and 12 months of maturation in oak, creating a wine of outstanding richness, texture, and complexity while preserving the vibrant character of old-vine Chenin Blanc.

The nose reveals expressive aromas of ripe nectarine, citrus blossom, quince, grapefruit, and cedar spice, beautifully complemented by delicate notes of wild honey and dried apricot. On the palate, layers of ripe stone fruit, lemon curd, toasted sourdough, fennel, and lime leaf unfold with a creamy texture, lively acidity, and a distinctive saline minerality. The finish is long, elegant, and chalky, leaving lingering citrus and floral notes with exceptional freshness. Orpheus & The Raven Old Bush Vine Chenin Blanc 2024 pairs beautifully with grilled salmon, roasted chicken, creamy seafood dishes, asparagus, and mature soft cheeses.
