Kumusha Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from a four-hectare block called Opstal in the Slanghoek Valley, Breedekloof district, Western Cape. The vineyard sits at 300 meters above sea level on ancient sandstone soils. Vines are approximately 16 years old and the fruit is hand-picked in the early morning to retain aromatics and acidity.
Winemaking is low-intervention throughout. After destemming, free-run juice settles in stainless steel for 48 hours at 9°C. Spontaneous fermentation runs for roughly three weeks, with occasional lees stirring to build texture. The wine rests on gross lees in stainless steel for four months before bottling with minimal added sulfur. No oak is used. Around 1,650 cases were produced.
The result is pale straw in color with greenish hues. The nose delivers gooseberry, lime, and fresh apple with a flint-like mineral undercurrent. The palate is light-to-medium bodied with zesty citrus flavors and brisk acidity on the finish. Stylistically, it leans closer to the Loire Valley than to the riper, tropical style associated with Marlborough.
Kumusha is a Shona-language word meaning "your home," "your roots," or "your origin." The label is certified sustainable and vegan-friendly.
