Holden Manz Vernissage

Colour: Deep garnet in colour with a bright red edge. Nose: Brimming with red and black berries and mulberry flavours, with subtle notes of pencil shavings, graphite, spicy white pepper, biltong and violets in early spring. Palate: Smooth elegant focused palate with mid-palate ripeness and spicy supple finish. Red and black fruits dominate balanced with a graphite steeliness. The tannins are soft and refined and exquisitely round off the aromas of spice and fresh plum. Savoury, layered complexity with lots of finesse.

Colour: Intense dark ruby. Nose: Ripe dark fruit, graphite, cassis, a subtle herbaceousness, nuances of blueberry and thyme backed with hints of cedar wood and pencil shavings. Palate: Soft, voluptuous integrated tannins with a rich creamy cassis freshness. Silky smooth mid palate with a finish which is full of dark fruit and long lingering flavours. Great tension!
