About this Item

6 (1 x 6) 1500ml Magnum

  • Big G 2016
  • Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2019
  • Holden Manz Hiro Rosé 2020

Notes

Holden Manz Big G is the estate’s signature wine named after one of the owners Gerard Holden.  A typical left bank Bordeaux styled blend this wine includes 70% cabernet sauvignon, 19% cabernet franc and 9% merlot.  Aged in 30% new French oak barrels for 22 months.  Plenty of cassis, dark fruits, pencil shavings, a hint of herbaceousness – great with your favourite steak!

 

Holden Manz Barrel Fermented Chardonnay uses grapes from cool climate sites – one high on the Simonsberg and the other next to the ocean at False Bay.  Once pressed the juice is transferred to French oak barrels, 45% new, to undergo wild fermentation.  The wine is kept on the fine lees in barrel for 6 months with regular batonnage.  Approximately 20% of this wine went through secondary/malolactic fermentation.

 

The Holden Manz Hiro Rosé is named after the owners’ daughter and is a blend of grenache noir and cinsault.  20% of the wine was exposed to third fill barrels for 3 months.  A sublime rosé experience!
