Kumusha Chenin Blanc 2023
Location: South Africa
Winemaker: Tinashe Nyamudoka
Grapes: Chenin Blanc
Soil: sandy shale
Winemaking: 20% of the wine spent 6 months in large oak casks (Foudres) and 80% in a combination of stainless and concrete. In total the wine spent the total maturation time of 7 months on its gross lees.
From the Importer Baobab Wine: Kumusha’s Chenin Blanc has aromas of pear, white peach and lime on the nose. A juicy palate with flavors of cantaloupe melon and papaya, following through with a crisp dry finish. Great with Chicken Caesar Salad or lemon & herb spatchcock chicken.
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.
Chenin blanc from the Breedekloof Valley where fruit purity and freshness are always ever present. This wine is a combination of 2 vineyards – the first 380m above sea level dry land farmed and the other 38 years old and in great balance at that age of the vine. 20% of the wine spent 6 months in large oak casks (Foudres) and 80% in a combination of stainless and concrete. In total the wine spent the total maturation time of 7 months on its’ gross lees which adds plenty of complexity on the palate.
