“Helping Each Other”- 57 Main Street Imports Proudly Introduces Sizanani from South Africa
10/13/08
In unity there lies strength. Sizanani in Xhosa - one of the eleven official languages of South Africa - means “Helping Each Other.” In the spirit of helping each other, the Bellevue Wine Estate of Stellenbosch has empowered over eighty previously disadvantaged members of its staff to form the private company, Stellenbosch Wine and Logistics.
Stellenbosch Wine and Logistics mission is to create value-oriented quality selections that are full of the ripe fruit and the flavors that are synonymous with the wines from Stellenbosch. Sizanani’s inaugural offerings include a fruit forward Pinotage that stylistically will appeal to a wide range of wine consumers – including those who are unfamiliar with this Varietal indigenous to South Africa, or those who generally do not care for Pinotage, and a Chenin Blanc that is loaded with tropical fruit flavors.
57 Main Street is proud to import these special wines. As the premier importer of South African wines, we believe in social responsibility by bridging cultures, empowering people and giving hope” states Peter Morales, President and CEO of 57 Main Street Imports. “Our pioneering South African Vision 57 Adopt–A-School and Wine for Literacy programs have laid a strong foundation towards these efforts. Sizanani is a perfect addition to our socially conscious portfolio.”
