As the initiative and our wines mature, we are noticing that more people are taking note and we have been really humbled by the positive reaction from all.” For example, lees contact varies, as does time in barrel and general use of wood. Says Attie Louw, from Opstal Estate: “Every winemaker is urged to express him and herself. The personalities – of the wine and the maker - are reflected in the songs these winemakers associate with their wines, and like the Chenin grape and the styles it lends itself to, the subsequent soundtrack is equally diverse:Ĭlassics by Queen, Neil Diamond, Mark Knopfler, Hall & Oats, and The Eagles, Indie-pop hits by the Lumineers and Black Handed Kites, upbeat pop by Katy Perry and Journey, rock by U2, and an alternative song by Disturbed, are the suggested lyrical pairings.
The wineries here produce a fifth of all the Chenin Blanc made in the country and it, therefore, follows that the state of Chenin Blanc in this valley goes on to set the tone for determining the quality of grape, nationally.Ĭurrently, 12 winemakers bottle their Chenin Blanc under the Breedekloof Makers collaboration, each illustrating the winemakers’ unique approach to this popular varietal, while also revealing a few their own personalities.

The Breedekloof Makers, who officially introduced their collaborative initiative in 2015 at the international Cape Wine showcase, have been on a mission to showcase the quality of wines being made in the Breedekloof Wine region, as well as accentuating the diverse terroir pockets. Instead of embarking on a hyper-intellectual scientific discourse on Chenin Blanc, the Breedekloof Makers – a band of like-minded winemakers crafting small quantities of terroir-specific Chenin Blanc from grapes grown in the Breedekloof Wine Valley – have introduced their new vintages matched toa specific song. If Chenin Blanc was a song, what would it sound like?
