Founded on the historical exploitation of mixed-race and African labor, the South-African wine industry bears a weighty inheritance in post-Apartheid Africa. Today it appears to be at a crossroads.

From North to South, Cape Province contains the largest vineyards on the African continent. In this region the question of agrarian reform is the burning topic of the day.
