More Information - Inzuzo Big Picture White Blend
Hand-harvested at peak ripeness, the individual components—Chenin Blanc, Grenache Blanc, and Viognier—are vinified separately to capture each grape’s distinct character. The juice undergoes a gentle crush with limited skin contact and is cold-settled before a cool fermentation. A portion of light lees is reintroduced and aged to add gentle, creamy texture and structural complexity. The result is a delicate yellow wine with an invigorating nose of ripe orchard fruits, mango hints, apple blossom, and flinty minerality. It is clean, dry, and vegan-friendly
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).

• 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.
