Holden Manz Visionaire

The name ‘Holden Manz Visionaire’ stands for something special. It represents the attempt to create an expressive wine consisting of 6 different grape varieties - and the winery succeeded! The interaction of the single grape varieties was a real challenge for the winemaker as he had to take the most diverse aspects into consideration. The grapes were selected from various vineyards with different types of soil. The ageing was carried out in 225-litre French oak casks, of which 20% were new and 80% were second- and third-fill barrels. The wines were aged for 24 months before they were blended and bottled, resulting in a wine of extreme complexity that shows a perfect balance between residual sugar and acidity. On the nose, it pampers your senses with a variety of aromas such as notes of mulberries and currants as well as fine nuances of white pepper and violets. The Holden Manz Visionaire is elegant and smooth on the palate, with a medium body. The palate is predominantly characterised by notes of red and black fruit and an exceptional minerality, wonderfully rounded off by skilfully integrated, strong tannins. Enjoy this wonderfully complex Holden Manz Visionaire with an air-dried fillet steak or lamb chops, for example.

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…

Product recommendation

Meerlust Red
The Meerlust Red is an elegant red wine cuvée from Stellenbosch that perfectly reflects the terroir and expertise of the famous Meerlust wine estate. As the "second wine" of the legendary Meerlust Rubicon, this blend offers a more accessible yet complex alternative with intense fruit, fine spice and a smooth tannin structure.The grapes for the Meerlust Red come from the same first-class vineyards as the Rubicon. The cuvée usually consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, although Malbec or Petit Verdot may also be added depending on the vintage. After temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine matures for 12 months in French oak barrels to give it additional depth and elegance.In the glass, the Meerlust Red is a deep ruby red with violet reflections. The nose is dominated by ripe dark berries, black cherries and cassis, complemented by subtle notes of cedar wood, spices and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is harmonious and supple with soft tannins, lively acidity and a long, spicy finish.This South African cuvée is an ideal accompaniment to grilled beef, lamb or hearty stews. It also unfolds its full complexity with mature cheese or pasta with strong sauces.Enjoy this elegant red wine at a drinking temperature of 16-18 °C and be inspired by the Meerlust quality.

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.

Beyerskloof Pinotage Reserve
Anri Truter Besitzer und Winzer bei Beyerskloof wird längst als Mister Pinotage in Südafrika bezeichnet. Nur wenige geben sich mit einer solchen Hingabe dieser Rebsorte hin. Der Beyerskloof Pinotage Reserve lagerte für 14 Monate auf französischer Eiche. 10 % des Rotweins verbrachte dabei die Reifung in neuen Fässern und der Rest in Fässern zweiter und dritter Füllung. Das gibt dem Wein eine feine Zedernholzaromatik. Die Farbe des Beyerkloof Pinotage Reserve ist tiefrot und in der Nase finden sich komplexe Aromen von Brombeeren und Pflaumen. Am Gaumen wunderbar ausbalanciert und saftig mit einer fleischigen Note. Opulent und mit feiner Textur zeigt dieser Pinotage die ganze Bandbreite der Rebsorte. Mehr Pinotage in dieser Preiskategorie geht nicht. Kombinieren Sie den Beyerskloof Pinotage Reserve mit gegrilltem Fleisch oder Wild mit scharfen Saucen. Auch schön zu würzigem Curry.
