Holden Manz Wine Estate
The Holden Manz Winery in the picturesque Franschhoek wine region is known for its outstanding red wine blends and elegant varietal wines. Nestled in South Africa’s breathtaking landscape, it benefits from a unique terroir shaped by its altitude and soil composition.
The estate’s vineyards are planted primarily with classic grape varieties such as Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah 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. Its wines, including special selections such as Holden Manz Visionaire, are often praised for their structure, complexity and ageing potential.
Tasting Note
Although Chenin Blanc is the most widely planted grape variety in South Africa, 2017 was the maiden vintage of the Chenin Blanc from Holden Manz. Despite its short history, this Chenin Blanc is already one to watch.
This fresh, single-varietal Chenin Blanc has a delicate golden-yellow hue and releases intensely fragrant aromas of peach, jasmine and apple blossom. On the palate, it impresses with a medium body and balanced acidity, accented by hints of pear and melon. A subtle touch of oak makes for a wonderfully exciting drinking experience.
Overall, a complex, authentic wine in which winemaker Thierry Haberer has once again demonstrated his full knowledge and skill.
