Holden Manz Vernissage

The Holden Manz Vernissage is a cuvée consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety gives the wine a lovely structure and particularly elegant tannins. Shiraz and Merlot provide notes of spices and fruit aromas, which are mainly characterised by nuances of dark cherries and plums. The wine is a light ruby-red, developing into a clear red towards the rim in the glass. The Holden Manz Vernissage has a balanced acidity and shows vivid aromas of cassis, tobacco and spice, giving the wine a very good balance. Its finish is soft and long-lasting. Winemaker Thierry Haberer selected the grapes from various vineyards with different types of soil. The grapes were harvested when fully ripe, thus giving the wine a wonderful complexity. After the careful blending of the single batches and grape varieties and the numerous tastings involved, Thierry finally created this expressive, balanced and very fruity Holden Manz Vernissage. The wine matured for 18 months in 225-litre French oak casks. Enjoy the wine with lamb stews with garlic sauce or grilled polenta.

Holden Manz Wine Estate

Das 22 Hektar große Weingut Holden Manz Wine Estate in Südafrika liegt malerisch an der südlichsten Ecke des Franschhoek-Tals nur eine Fahrstunde von Kapstadt entfernt und ist umgeben von spektakulären Bergformationen.

Auf gut 300 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel bieten die trockenen heißen Sommer und die milden Herbstphasen ideale Bedingungen für körperreiche Weine. Die britisch-deutschen Besitzer Gerard Holden und Migo Manz (daher der Name Holden Manz) haben es mit ihren Winemakern geschafft, auf dem erst 2010 erworbenen Weingut Weine von erstklassiger Qualität herzustellen. Schon zahlreiche Preise und internationale Anerkennungen können das eindrucksvoll unterstreichen. Die Beiden erwarben das ehemalige Weingut "Klein Genoot" und begannen zielgerichtet mit dem Wiederaufbau. Aus den Rebsorten Merlot, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot und Malbec sowie weiß Chardonnay werden wunderbare reinrassige Weine sowie fantastische Cuvée gezaubert. Übrigens – auch ein exklusives 5-Sterne Hotel mit vortrefflicher Küche und wunderbarem Ambiente gehört zum Anwesen. Man soll grandiose Feste dort feiern können…

Holden Manz Big G
The ruby-red Holden Manz Big G is a tribute to the owner of the winery Gerard Holden, a strong, powerful and energetic man - like the wine, a full-flavoured and full-bodied Bordeaux blend. The wine, consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, is well-balanced, very well-structured and powerful. The grapes were picked by hand and only the best grapes from selected plots in the different vineyards were taken to create the Holden Manz Big G. The wine underwent a malolactic fermentation in French casks, of which 30% were new and 70% were used barrels. Subsequently, the wine was aged for another 24 months in wooden casks. The Holden Manz Big G offers aromas of black cherries, red plums, mint, bilberries and cedar in its bouquet, along with hints of pine and subtle herbal nuances. On the palate, it shows noticeable but soft tannins that unite with creamy notes of cassis. The prolonged finish is characterised by a splendid fullness of dark fruit. The Holden Manz Big G is an excellent accompaniment to dried meat or Beef Wellington.

Holden Manz Cabernet Sauvignon
Der Holden Manz Cabernet Sauvignon hat eine rubinrote Farbe mit scharlachrotem Rand. Er duftet intensiv nach Brombeeren, Heidelbeeren, frischen Tabakblättern und ein wenig nach Cassis. Ergänzt von schwarzem Lakritz und Zeder und Noten von verschiedenen Gewürzen. Der erste Gaumeneindruck ist reichhaltig und voll mit vielen komplexen dunklen Früchten. Im Mund zeigt der Holden Manz Cabernet Sauvignon danach eine unglaubliche Breite, Komplexität und Tiefe, was zu einem langen, vollen Abgang führt. Die feinen Tannine verbinden sich mit einer ausgewogenen Säure. Für die Reifung lagerte der Wein 22 Monate in 225-Liter-Barriques aus französischer Eiche. Dafür kamen 30% neue Fässer und 70% Fässer zweiter und dritter Füllung zum Einsatz. Speisenempfehlung: Langsam gekochter geschmorter Ochsenschwanz mit Butterbohnen oder Rosmarin-Lammkoteletts mit Frühkartoffeln.
