The Breedekloof Makers at the Linden Market

The Linden Market is a highly curated market that takes place quarterly in Johannesburg, attracting hundreds of visitors who appreciate quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability. The market showcases a wide range of local artisans, fashion designers, jewellers, artists, and crafters and they prioritise vendors who use recycled materials or up-cycle items to create unique and eco-friendly products.

The exclusive partnership between The Linden Market and Breedekloof Makers aims to expose visitors to the exceptional 'expected' and 'unexpected' wines of the Breedekloof Makers. Under this partnership, only wines from the Breedekloof Makers are sold at The Linden Market, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to taste and discover the Breedekloof Makers' award-winning wines.

The previous tasting at The Linden Market, themed 'Styles of Chenin Blanc,' was a resounding success, with visitors raving about the quality and uniqueness of the wines on offer. Opstal and Slanghoek wineries presented their exceptional wines, reflecting the same level of care and attention to detail as the handcrafted items showcased at The Linden Market.

Visitors to the tasting sessions were treated to a range of the Breedekloof Maker's exquisite Chenin Blanc wines, including Opstal Southern Secco, Opstal Estate Chenin Blanc 2021, Carl Everson Chenin Blanc 2020, Slanghoek Private Selection Chenin Blanc 2022, Slanghoek Legends Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2019, and Slanghoek Creme de Chenin 2020.

The tasting sessions were led by knowledgeable representatives from the wineries and Melody Botha, CEO of Breedekloof Wine Routes, who shared insights into the winemaking process, the unique terroir of the Breedekloof region, and the sustainable practices adopted by the wineries.

Visitors who attended the tastings were impressed by the exceptional quality of the wines, the knowledgeable presentations, and the unique experience of tasting exclusive wines at The Linden Market. The success of the first tasting underscores the exciting potential of the exclusive union between Breedekloof Makers and The Linden Market in 2023 and beyond.

The collaboration between The Linden Market and Breedekloof Makers is a celebration of sustainability, craftsmanship, and mindful consumption. It reflects the shared values of both entities and provides a unique opportunity for visitors to support local makers and artisans while discovering exceptional wines from the Breedekloof Makers.
