English: Holden Manz Wine Estate Spanish: Holden Manz Bodega Dutch: Holden Manz Wijnhuis French: Holden Manz Domaine viticole
The Winery Holden Manz in the picturesque wine region Franschhoek is known for its outstanding red wine cuvées and elegant single-varietal wines. Nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of South Africa, it benefits from a unique terroir shaped by its altitude and soil conditions.
On estate-owned vineyards, classic grape varieties such as Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah are grown first and foremost. But wines made from Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc are also known for their quality.
The winery focuses on sustainable farming and gentle handling of the grapes. The wines, including specialties like the Holden Manz Visionaire, are often praised for their structure, complexity, and aging potential.
Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The "Elysium" from the Winery Holden Manz is a co-fermented wine made from the grape varieties Merlot and Syrah. Since these two grape varieties rarely ripen simultaneously at the Winery Holden Manz in Franschhoek, the Elysium can only be produced in special years.
Aromas of strawberry, dark cherry, and nuances of Chocolate make the Holden Manz Elysium a truly unique taste experience.
The two grape varieties were handpicked by the Winemaker Thierry Haberer on March 10 and then sorted in such a way that only the optimally ripe berries were used for this wine.
Only 800 bottles were produced by Elysium. Therefore, this wine is a true rarity. Its complete and balanced structure ensures an excellent aging potential until 2035.

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.
