Tasting notes
The Vernissage from the Winery Holden Manz pours into the glass with a brilliant ruby red. On the nose flows the scent of red and black berries, underpinned by a hint of spice.
Nuances of dark cherries and plums are also noticeable, while on the palate the aromas of blackcurrants, spice and tobacco are clearly evident.
The ripe, yet soft tannins and a balanced acidity make the Holden Manz Vernissage 2019 an elegant wine, whose velvety finish lingers for a long time.
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.
