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…

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 winery’s owner, Gerard Holden. A man of particularly robust character and brimming with energy—much like the wine itself, a full-bodied, robust Bordeaux blend. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, this wine is well-balanced, very well-structured, and robust. The grapes were harvested by hand, and only the best berries were selected for winemaking. Only selected plots from the various vineyards were used for this wine. After malolactic fermentation in 30% new and 70% used French oak barrels, the wine underwent a further 24 months of aging in wood.On the nose, the Holden Manz Big G reveals aromas of black cherry, red plum, mint, blueberry, cedar, a hint of pine, and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, the tannins are noticeable yet soft, combined with the creaminess of cassis. The finish features a magnificent, long-lasting volume of dark fruit.It pairs exceptionally well with jerky or filet Wellington.

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.
