Marché Hendricks
First Year Protégé
Born and raised in Paarl, Marché Hendricks is an Elsenburg Agricultural College graduate with a Diploma in Cellar Technology, whose journey into winemaking began during her internship under Mahalia Kotjane – a former CWG Protégé – at Lievland.
Marché is in her first year of the Protégé Programme and is being mentored by JD Pretorius at Warwick Wine Estate.
“What excites me most about winemaking is the hands-on, hardworking nature of the industry: getting my hands dirty, being physically involved in the process, and collaborating with a team to bring each vintage to life,” she says. “I embrace the fact that no two vintages are ever the same, viewing each year as an opportunity to learn, grow, and refine my craft.”
