Dutch Wine Apprentice, The Podcast
Education
In this episode we welcome Joseph Dhafana from Mosi Wines. Joseph will join us to talk about his career in wine, work as a winemaker and his company Mosi Wines from South Africa.
Mosi Wines concentrates on sourcing the best fruits from only healthy vineyards to produce excellent quality wines. They also forage ingredients for their own gin from the bushes of chirumhanzu Zimbabwe, so that they can craft a premium gin and advocate this avenue to mindfully enjoying life.
Their wines and spirits are named after family members as this is a family owned business. For now, they have Chenin Blanc named after their wine maker’s son Tinashe, and a Syrah that is a tribute to our winemaker’s father. Next to that they have their own gin that is named after the whole clan.
Joseph is the founder and owner of Mosi wines and spirits. Next to that he is a sommelier, wine maker and a wine and spirits judge. From working as a gardener in Riebeek-kasteel to becoming the seventh sasa certified sommelier in South Africa, Joseph has been lauded for his humility and for sharing his exceptional knowledge of wine with pure grace and professionalism. On an international level Joseph also captained team Zimbabwe 2017 & 2018, which competed at the world blind wine tasting championships in France.
In this Podcast we discuss his career and of course you will learn all about Mosi Wines. We also tasted one of his wines: the Mosi Tinashe 2018 Chenin Blanc.
