Holden Manz Good Sport 2019

20% abv

Vol- 75cl

Holden Manz Good Sport is strictly speaking a Cape Vintage although it posesses many of the attributes of an LBV Ruby Port. Single estate syrah-based port style while is unusal in itself. Ruby red; intense explosion of berries, stewed rhubarb, candied fruit, hints of cassis on the nose. Smooth, soft entry on the palate with sweet fruits, a whiff of Sauterne, fynbos honeyed nougat and pleasant acidity. Rich and warm with long length and finish. Pair with a chocolate fondant desert, local cheeses or chilled with grilled figs, melted blue cheese and parma ham.

The berries for the Holden Manz Good Sport were chosen from a single block manicured to produce 6 tonnes per hectare. The grapes were left on the vine for two weeks after the rest of the syrah was picked to allow the sugars to concentrate. After 3 day of cold soak at 5°C, alcoholic fermentation was started. The wine was pressed directly to tank and fortified with brandy spirits to stop the natural fermenattion process and retain the natural sugar level then transferred from tank to 5 year old 500 litre French oak barrels and matured for 19 months before bottling and sealing by hand.
