Holden Manz Visionaire

The name Holden Manz Visionaire already hides something special. It is an attempt to create an expressive wine from 6 different grape varieties. And it has succeeded! The interplay was a real challenge for the winemaker, as a wide variety of components had to be taken into account. The grapes were selected from different plots with different soil types. Ageing took place in 20% new 225-liter French oak barrels and 80% in 2nd and 3rd fill barrels. After 24 months of ageing, the wines were blended and bottled.

The result is a wine of incredible complexity, with a perfect balance between residual sugar and acidity. The nose is spoiled by a multitude of aromas, such as mulberry, redcurrant, delicate notes of white pepper and violets. On the palate, the Holden Manz Visionaire is elegant and smooth with medium maturity. It is dominated by red and black fruits with an exceptional minerality. The finely integrated tannins are firm and round off the taste impression wonderfully.

Combine an air-dried fillet steak in pepper sauce or lamb chops with this wonderfully complex Holden Manz Visionaire.

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.
