A Short History of Black Winemaking\n\nFor over 300 years, Cape vineyards relied on Black labour while Black ownership was structurally denied. The shift began only in the late 1990s.\n\nNtsiki Biyela became South Africa's first Black female winemaker in 2004. Today she runs Aslina, and a cohort of producers — Mhudi, Seven Sisters, Carmen Stevens, MoSi, Koni — define a new generation of African luxury.\n\nThis lesson covers the milestones, programs, and pioneers behind that shift.
