Kumusha Wines

Kumusha in the Zimbabwean Shona language translates to ‘your home’, ‘your roots’ or ‘your origin’.

I believe the best wines are representative of their region. I met Attie Louw from Opstal estate some years ago and it has grown to a relationship where I have been able to work with the fruit from the Breedekloof Valley to create wines that I would not only like to drink myself, but wines that, from my experience as sommelier, are representative of what is leading the way for the style of South African wines. Minimal intervention wine making and natural fermentation is aimed at letting the wine be free to do the talking

of its origin. I am not pretending to be a winemaker, but I do bring a lot of experience from both the hospitality, gastronomy and sommelier industries. Through a collaborative process where I respect the vine, the winemaker and the consumer, I try to build a brand of wines that are not overly serious, but wines that represent and honour their roots.
