Kumusha Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
Location: South Africa
Winemaker: Tinashe Nyamudoka
Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon
Soil: granite, clay, sandstone
Winemaking: Destemmed into old oak cask open top fermenters. The Cabernet Sauvignon underwent extended maceration in the oak casks for 30 days after which it was pressed and the wine went to 300L old French oak for 12 months. After the 12 month period the wine was bottled and rested in bottle for another 4 months.
From the producer: This Cabernet Sauvignon shows beautiful red berry fruit flavours. The aim is to produce an attractive nose that lures you in and then over-deliver on the palate where drinkability is key. Classic Cab meets smashable drinkability.
From the Importer Baobab Wine: 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 wine making 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.
