Kumusha in the Zimbabwean Shona language translates to your home, your roots or your origin. World Renowned Sommelier Tinashe Nyamudoka believes the best wines are representative of their region. Through a collaborative process with respect to the vine, the winemaker, and the consumer, Tinashe is building a brand of wines that represent and honor their roots. Minimal intervention winemaking and natural fermentation is aimed at letting the wine be free to do the talking of its origin. These are wines that Tinashe would not only like to drink himself, but wines that, from his experience as a sommelier, are representative of what is leading the way for the style of South African wines.
- WINEMAKER: Tinashe Nyamudoka
- FARMING: Sustainable farming practices with a focus on ecological balance and long-term soil health. The vineyards are carefully managed to minimize environmental impact while fostering biodiversity.
- VARIETY: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
- TERROIR: Sourced from the diverse and expansive Western Cape region, which offers a mix of coastal and inland vineyards. The climate varies from cool coastal breezes to warmer inland temperatures, providing a balanced environment for the development of ripe, complex fruit. The soil composition is rich in clay and granite, contributing to the wine's structure and depth.
- VINIFICATION: The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit’s freshness and purity. The wine undergoes extended maceration to extract color and tannins, followed by malolactic fermentation to ensure a smooth, round mouthfeel.
- AGING: Aged for 12 months in a combination of French oak barrels and stainless steel, which provides structure and complexity while maintaining a fruit-forward profile.
- TASTING NOTES: The 2023 Kumusha Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold yet elegant wine with aromas of dark berries, blackcurrant, and plum, accented by hints of tobacco, cedar, and a touch of vanilla. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with structured tannins, balanced acidity, and a rich core of dark fruit. The finish is smooth, with lingering notes of spice and subtle oak influence.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with grilled meats, such as steak or lamb, roasted vegetables, or dishes like beef bourguignon. It also pairs beautifully with rich, aged cheeses like gouda or manchego.
