Wine with Rhythm.
Soul in Every Sip.
Founded in 2018, Liz Ogumbo Wines™ was born from a simple belief:
Wine should not only be tasted.
It should be experienced.
Created by Cultural Architect Liz Ogumbo, the brand exists at the intersection of wine, music, storytelling, and culture, transforming wine from a beverage into a living narrative.
Produced in South Africa and enjoyed across multiple markets, the collection currently includes five premium wines developed through a philosophy of craftsmanship, creativity, and emotional connection.
From its inception, Liz Ogumbo Wines™ was designed to extend beyond the bottle.
"Music became part of the experience.
Story became part of the journey.
Culture became part of the connection."
Each wine was paired with original music, creating an emotional soundtrack that deepens memory, atmosphere, and meaning beyond the sensory experience of taste alone.
This pioneering approach later evolved into Vine to Soul™ — a multi-sensory storytelling ecosystem integrating wine, memoir, music, education, and immersive experiences into a single cultural narrative.
Today, Liz Ogumbo Wines™ serves as the foundation of that ecosystem.
The wines are the entry point.
The stories create context.
The music creates atmosphere.
The experiences create connection.
Together, they form a new model of cultural storytelling where taste, sound, memory, and identity converge.
We do not simply bottle wine.
We bottle emotion, memory, rhythm, and heritage for a life well sipped.
Wine with Rhythm.
Soul in Every Sip.
Liz Ogumbo Wines Catalogue
Maro

Maro
(Shiraz 2016)
ALC/ VOL 13.0%
Our Maro Shiraz derives its name from Liz Ogumbo’s soundtrack, Maro Pamore from her debut album KenSoul. This wine has a deep, dark red colour with aromas of plums and red berry fruitcake on the nose along with hints of nutmeg.
Like the spicy character of ‘Maro’ (translated from Luo to English to mean to mother-in-law), Our soft-yet complex ‘Maro’ Shiraz will awaken your taste buds and undertones of chocolate and tobacco leaf will linger for a while and slowly fade away, leaving your palate satisfied.
The palate is dense, very well rounded and supported with a smooth, velvety tannin structure along with flavours of mulberry, blackberry fruit and vanilla.
Scan the QR code on the wine bottle and let our ‘Maro’ wine tantalise your taste buds traversing into your auditory senses through her melodies and rhythmic soundtrack.
Already There

Already There
Pinotage 2017
ALC/ VOL 13.0%
Our ‘Already There’ Pinotage derives its name from Liz Ogumbo’s Ft Sxeeps soundtrack, ‘Already There.’ This full-bodied elegant dark ruby red Pinotage with enticing flavours, smokiness and hints of red fruit carries a bouquet of red fruit with smoky and savoury notes.
As our way to celebrate South Africa through it’s musical collaboration from this soundtrack and its national grape, ‘Pinotage,’ this wine has been crafted by a group of South African winemakers and carries a great balance between fruit and acid, resulting in an elegant and sophisticated palate through its tamed tannins. You can pair her with almost any dish or just enjoy on her own anytime of the year. Either way, she is determined to get you ‘there.’

Msenangu

Msenangu
(Chenin Blanc/Chardonnay)
ALC/ VOL 13.0%
In its Light golden colour with straw tinge, Msenangu is influenced by the rendition of a Swahili love ballad’s coastal rhythms from Liz Ogumbo's album, KenSoul, The Lotus Chapter, ready to transport you from Stellenbosch all through to the Swahili coast.
Hints of tropical citrus aromas, pear drop sweetness and a hint of honeysuckle, finishing on the nose set this Chenin Blanc/Chardonnay 2017 Blend as a rare, yet easy every-day wine.
The grapes are selected parcels throughout the Western Cape and the wine is crafted by Hendrik Snyman.

Ubuntu

UBUNTU
(Red Blend 2017)
ALC/ VOL 13.0%
Our Ubuntu blend of 86% Shiraz,10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Pinotage derives its name from Liz Ogumbo’s soundtrack, Ubuntu from her debut album KenSoul. Ubuntu is an expression used to embody the spirit of brotherhood/sisterhood through unity in our human existence. (also referred to as ‘Undugu’ within the Swahili-speaking East African community)
On the nose are spicy notes of liquorice, black pepper, coriander and “fynbos” combined with fresh aromas of dark berries and butterscotch as we unveil UBUNTU at a time where the world is slowly reuniting from pain and love through the novel pandemic crisis of our times.
