Situated at the top of the picturesque Franschhoek valley with spectacular mountain views, Holden Manz Wine Estate lies nestled amongst a selection of wine farms. This 22 hectare winery can be found between the Franschhoek and Stony Brook rivers and features lovely fertile, dark loam soils, a Mediterranean climate and a state-of-the-art winery. The recent addition of 50 kW of solar panels has significantly reduced energy consumption – a big step in their ongoing commitment to sustainable production practices.
Holden Manz Merlot Reserve 2018
15% abv
Intense ruby red centre; upfront mulberry, blackberry and dark cherries with subtle spice aromas. Smooth, elegant, sexy and luscious palate! Dark fruits, blueberries, cherries and tobacco support overall experience of fruit and balanced acidity. Rich, elegant and refined tannins, enticing texture, long finish. Pair with slow roasted pork belly and strawberry salad .
After de-stemming, berries are once again hand sorted before being loaded into 100% new 225 litre French oak barrels. The barrels are rolled on the cellar floor until spontaneous fermentation is underway. Post fermentation maceration of 55 days ensures great transfer of flavours from solid to liquid. Free run juice from pressing is re-blended with other fractions from the manual basket press until a perfect balance is found between fruit, acidity and balance.
