    The elegant Holden Manz Vernissage flows into the glass in a dark ruby red and impresses already in the bouquet with the aromas typical for the grape varieties Merlot (59%), Cabernet Sauvignon (19%), Syrah (18%) and Cabernet Franc (4%). A heavenly scent of prunes, mulberries and ripe cherries rises to the nose, surrounded by smoky tones and cloves. Silky soft tannins caress the palate, while notes of dark cherries, fresh raspberries, tobacco and herbs provide a multi-faceted taste experience. Th

    Description

    A smooth, well-balanced red blend of 35% Shiraz, 33% Merlot, and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Vernissage is matured for 18 months in 3rd fill French oak, which adds subtle complexity. The deep ruby colour opens up to a nose of ripe black cherry, mulberry, and prune, with hints of cigar box, cloves, and graphite. On the palate, this wine is soft and silky, with ripe tannins and vibrant flavours of fresh raspberries, tobacco, and a touch of herbaceous notes. The finish is long and smooth, with balanced acidity and a refined elegance.

    Food Pairing: Ideal with slow-cooked lamb stew, pasta dishes, pizza, or charcuterie. Also pairs well with hard cheeses and grilled vegetables.

    Producer Profile

    A family owned wine producer located in the heart of the Franschhoek Valley. Established by owners Gerard Holden (a British investment banker in another life) & Migo Manz in 2010. The 22ha estate is situated between the Franschhoek River and Stony Brook at 300m above sea level.  With only 16 ha under vine, their focus has always been red grape varieties, though their stellar white wines, from the reserve Chardonnay, to the Chenin Blanc, and now Semillon requires further inspection. Best you read the critic’s notes and taste, to see for yourself!
