the selection
Imvula Sparkling Wine Brut NV, 100% Sauvignon Blanc – Pour
From a Champagne shaped bottle, closed with natural cork and a little wire muzzle. Elegant simple label. In the glass. a sprightly pale golden straw in colour, alive with bubbles. Classical Sauvignon Blanc aromas and palate. Whiffs of scrunched up fynbos herbs and refreshing sweet tropical limes are repeated on the palate which is soft, and deliciously dry.
Imvula Sparkling Wine NV, gently sweet – Pour
The Imvula Sparkling Wine NV Gently Sweet NV is made up of 80% Red Muscadel and 20% Colombar and closed with natural cork and a little wire muzzle. So, in the glass, it is an enchanting coral pink in colour as a result of using the Red Muscadel grape. The aromas are of the delicious Red Muscat Grape and very inviting. The lovely traditional Muscat flavours and aromas are enhance by the fine stream of bubbles continuously rising to the surface and forming a little crown round the edges.
Our Founder
Always fun when new sparklers appear on the market, especially these two from Imvula Wines. Imvula Wines is owned by Chwepheshe and Thandolwethu (Pty) Ltd , a 100% black owned company located at Ogade Location in Bergville, KwaZulu Natal.
With an interest in wine that only grew from many discussions with a “wine guru” friend, Siyabonga Mvula became exposed to the diverse varietals of wine available.
This led him to explore the industry and eventually he attended the Small-Scale Wine Making course at the University of Stellenbosch to prepare himself for his new mission. Later that year, the 33-year-old resigned from his cushy job with the Gauteng Treasury, where he was working as an Assistant Director, to pursue his new passion. It all paid off. In June this year he held his first sale of Imvula Wines at a Lifestyle Market and it was a great success.
