Amorato Wines

The story

Founded in 2018, Amorato Wines is a Black-owned Cape boutique label co-owned by Andrew Sibanda and Amos — better known in the industry as Amyfinest. What started as two friends chasing a shared love for South African terroir has grown into a quietly confident Stellenbosch cellar. Andrew brings the commercial vision and a deep network across the continent's wine trade; Amos (Amyfinest) leads the winemaking philosophy — patient, food-first, and unapologetically expressive of the Cape's old-vine heritage. Together they craft elegant, food-friendly wines — from a crisp Chenin Blanc and a fresh Sauvignon Blanc to structured Shiraz blends and a zero-alcohol Shiraz — that celebrate love for the land and the next generation of South African winemakers.
