Cyprus is filled with big hearts and big emotions – a hot, sleepy island, with hot tempers! On the surface it looks ‘normal’, but below the surface are many layers, filled with history – both beautiful and painful. An island full of amazing people, with incredible stories, doing amazing things. Join social and political analyst Costa Constanti to meet Cyprus and those who live there.
In the 20th episode of Terra Nullius Cyprus, meet Dr Alex Willem Copper. Also known as ‘Dr Xynisteri’, he is an expert on Cypriot wine, with a strong focus on the indigenous Xynisteri and Maratheftiko varieties. He introduced these drought resistant grapevines to Australia, in particular in South Australia, and the rest is history! From the foothills of Troodos in Limassol to the plains of Down Under, he is leading the way for the future of Australian wine, and taking the famous Cypriot variety to the global stage. Great to discuss the richness of the Cypriot cultural heritage in its cusine and produce.
