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 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

Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon
The Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant and powerful red wine from South Africa that impresses with its remarkable depth, structure and aromatic complexity. This red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon and a small proportion of Cabernet Franc comes from organically farmed vineyards in Franschhoek. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand, rigorously selected and then fermented spontaneously in egg-shaped concrete tanks. The wine is matured in 95% new French oak barrels - a vinification process that gives the wine its elegant texture, velvety tannins and characteristic roasted aromas.In the glass, the wine is a deep purple red. From the very first whiff, it reveals a complex bouquet of dark berries, eucalyptus, graphite and herbs such as lavender and thyme. There are also nuances of liquorice, black tea and fine spices, which underline the aristocratic character of this Cabernet Sauvignon. On the palate, the wine is concentrated but never overloaded. The fruit is densely interwoven with a fine minerality, the acid structure is precise, the tannins ripe and supple. The wine lingers on the finish - with notes of cassis, mocha and a hint of leather.The Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon is an ideal accompaniment to aromatic, spicy meat dishes. It goes particularly well with rack of lamb with a herb crust, braised beef with rosemary or game dishes with a dark sauce. This wine also reveals its full potential with mature hard cheese and hearty vegetarian dishes such as mushroom risotto.

Holden Manz Vernissage

Shiraz and Merlot provide notes of spices and fruit aromas, which are mainly characterised by nuances of dark cherries and plums.

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.
