A layered and pretty wine with cooked-apple, cream and toffee character. Full-bodied, yet remains bright and lively.

Mosi Wines was founded in 2014 by top sommelier Joseph T Dhafana and is named after Mosi-oa-Tunya, the village in Zimbabwe where he grew up. Joseph learned a lot from the famous winemaker and viticulturist Chris Mullineux. Joseph's very first wine immediately received 4 stars from Platter's Wine Guide. With Mosi Wines, Joseph wants to make wine that is both accessible and of the highest possible quality. He has a deep love for Syrah, preferably made in the style of the Northern Rhône: elegant and earthy, with notes of pepper and cherries and a nice acidity.
Mosi Wines is now one of the most famous sommeliers in the country, one of the 4 Zim Somms and works as head sommelier at the iconic restaurant La Colombe. He has been making his own wine since 2014.
The grapes for the Mosi Wines Tinashe Chenin Blanc come from a 38-year-old vineyard. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified with minimal intervention. a healthy vineyard, a real selection of the best fruit should do the job according to Mosi. Good wine is made in the vineyard. The wine has matured for 15 months in 2nd year French oak and after bottling it has received a further 3-4 months of bottle aging before this beautiful Chenin Blanc is released.
Well, where do we start with this great Chenin Blanc. This is not your average but unique and gastronomically very great. Light yellow with a green cast in the glass with lemon, pineapple, pear, apricots, geranium and a hint of pineapple in the nose. In the mouth, the wine is full bodied with mineral notes and delicious fresh and fresh fruit such as apricots, pear, lychee and pineapple . The oak ripening gives the wine a touch of wood (vanilla) but certainly does not dominate. An absolute must and a very nice tip is to download the free App “Label In Motion” and the label of this wine comes to life.

The life story of Joseph T Dhafana reads like a thriller and a fairy tale in one. In 2009, he and his wife fled poverty-stricken Zimbabwe via a container transported by train to South Africa. They were hosted in a church in Johannesburg for a few weeks. Joseph then found a job as a gardener at a restaurant in Swartland. In 2010, he was promoted to bartender and drank his very first glass of wine on his 29th birthday. Joseph: 'I mused about the vineyards and how someone could transform grapes into such a beautiful drink. From that moment on I was infected with the wine virus.' He took wine courses, blind tasting competitions, sat on juries and panels. He is now one of the most famous sommeliers in the country, one of the 4 Zim Somms and works as head sommelier at the iconic restaurant La Colombe. He has been making his own wine since 2014.
