---- from http://www.isawfoundation.org/OurWines/tabid/63/Default.aspx ----
Seven Sisters: The story of Seven Sisters is so powerful we are compelled to share it at each opportunity. The Brutus family was raised in the small fishing village of Paternoster, on the western coast of South Africa. In 1983, their father lost his job as a fisherman after 20 years. The Brutus sisters were forced to separate and leave the fishing village to move in with other family members. They yearned to return, but were not able to do so given the unfavorable economic circumstances. Over twenty years later, the sisters reunited and set out to establish a family business and started their own wine company in 2005. Each of their seven wines is distinct, carefully selected to match the styles and personalities of each of the seven sisters. ISAW seeks to support these courageous women by sharing their story and wonderful wines.
