The Holden Manz Semillon Reserve 2021 shows in the glass a bright lemon yellow with fine green reflections. On the nose, fresh aromas of lemon zest, ripe mango, and white blossoms unfold, accompanied by a hint of herbal spice and delicate minerality. On the palate, it is dense and elegant at the same time – creamy in texture, with lively acidity and clear fruit. Notes of grapefruit, tropical fruits, and a fine touch of vanilla from the wood blend harmoniously. The finish is long, fresh and precise, supported by citrus and a subtle, salty elegance.

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!
