2021 Kumusha Pinotage Western Cape

Winemaker Notes:  Nose of dark cherries and mulberries. Balanced palate with flavors of ripe plums and spice.

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 your roots. Using a minimal intervention approach and natural fermentation, Tinashe's aim is to let the wine be free to do the talking of its origin and to provide a model for Black wine entrepreneurs to follow. 

100% dry-farmed bush vine Pinotage from the Swartzland planted in the early 1990's. 80% was destemmed and 20% left whole bunch through fermentation and maceration. Gentle actions through fermentation as to not over-extract tannins. Aged for 12 months in large French casks and old 500L neutral barrels. Vegan friendly.
