The Holden Manz Semillon Reserve 2021 shows in the glass a bright lemon yellow with fine green reflections. On the nose, fresh aromas of lemon zest, ripe mango, and white blossoms unfold, accompanied by a hint of herbal spice and delicate minerality. On the palate, it is dense and elegant at the same time – creamy in texture, with lively acidity and clear fruit. Notes of grapefruit, tropical fruits, and a fine touch of vanilla from the wood blend harmoniously. The finish is long, fresh and precise, supported by citrus and a subtle, salty elegance.

Winery Holden Manz
The Holden Manz Winery is characterized by a highly modern design combined with state-of-the-art technology in the wine cellar. This enables the Winemaker Thierry Haberer to express Holden Manz's special terroir. The 22-hectare Winery is located in the farthest corner of the Franschhoek Valley and is only about an hour's drive from Cape Town. The two owners Gerard Holden and Migo Manz have already received numerous national and international awards with their Winery. After the acquisition in 2010 (formerly "Klein Genoot"), the two began restoring both the wine cellar and the rest of the Winery. Gerard and Migo operate, in addition to the wine cellar, an exclusive 5-star hotel with international cuisine at the highest level. The South African art exhibited at the Winery perfectly completes the "Holden Manz experience."

Tasting notes
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
