More Information - Inzuzo Chenin Blanc

Sourced from intense, low-to-the-ground bushvines in the Swartland region and hand-picked at peak ripeness, this wine delivers a vibrant yet generously weighted palate. A short period resting on the lees adds extra depth, weight, and a creamy texture without losing its natural freshness or crisp acidity.

Back Story & Wine Information

The Inzuzo Wine Company is a worker-owned, non-profit South African wine brand established in April 2024 through the Gabb family of Journey’s End Vineyards. The word inzuzo means “benefit” in Zulu. • Founding & Ownership: The company was launched in April 2024 and is 51% majority-owned by local vineyard and cellar workers from Sir Lowry’s Pass Village and surrounding neighborhoods (including Black Economic Empowerment [BEE] workers from Journey’s End). • Leadership: Winemaker Kaylin Willscott—born and raised locally in Sir Lowry’s Pass—leads the winemaking and outreach. She was named Cape Wine Guild Protégé of the Year in 2023 and featured in Wineland Media’s 30 Under 30 list in 2025. • Mission & Community Impact: • Every cent of profit from wine sales goes directly into specific, audited community and education projects in Sir Lowry’s Pass Village. • Goals include funding local youth initiatives and eventually purchasing a building to establish a school in the village. • Art on the Labels: The brand partners with local artist Charlie Vettori and a community art program that brings color and creativity to the walls and young people of Sir Lowry’s Pass, displaying their local artwork directly on each bottle label.

Pairing
