Holden Manz, Chenin Blanc Reserve, Elgin, South Africa, 2019

2018/19 was a true winemaker’s vintage.  A relatively cold and wet winter gave way to late and disorganized flowering.  Our vineyard team had to apply plenty of anticipation and thought to deal with the changing and unusual weather which disrupted the regular pattern of activities.  A generally cooler vintage has produced wines with exceptional elegance.
