Amani Sauvignon Blanc Stellenbosch 2001

Clean, brilliant straw color with up-front gooseberry and lively mix of herbaceous flavors, which include grapefruit, nettle and greenpepper nuances. On the palate, there is a full spectrum of ripe tropical fruits with well structured grapefruit acid for balance, which is accentuated by a smooth finish with clearly discernable peach notes.

Amani is the Swahili word for "Peace" and in keeping with the African theme, their marketing scheme is truly modern African. Very striking and innovative packaging, featuring elegant clear capsules and labels 'crowned' by Amani's 3-D Swahili-inspired African symbol, immediately make this new venture stand out from the crowd.
