The Wild Side of Wine: South Africa
The Wild Side of Wine sees Peter Richards MW explore cultures and countries all around the world – from a unique perspective. From reviving ancient human history in Georgia to charting an adventurous future in the Chilean desert, Peter dives fearlessly into history, culture, politics and gastronomy. This is a trip not to miss: local wine and food heroes, off the beaten track, tell intriguing tales and answer awkward questions, in doing so revealing a new side to familiar or far-away places. Guaranteed to tantalise the taste buds and inspire wanderlust!
South African wine conjures images of picture-perfect winelands – but also a painful past. In this eye-opening mini-series, Peter Richards MW explores a country not shying away from the past but actively re-discovering its own identity, where wine offers not only salutary lessons but also hope for a brighter, more inclusive future. Brace yourselves for adventure, poetry, drama, inspiring people and captivating stories – not to mention delicious wine. On his travels, Peter fails at surfing, discovers a little-known connection between wine and Nelson Mandela, encounters all kinds of wildlife, tries his hand at welding and plays the marimba in frenzied fashion.
