Holden Manz Proprietor’s White Blend, Franschhoek, South Africa

The grapes for this white blend were hand selected by our Cellar Master from a variety of locations in Somerset West, Stellenbosch, Wellington and Paarl. They combine magnificently to produce a rounded well-balanced wine. Grapes were harvested in separate pickings. Berries were hand selected in the cool of the early morning. The blend of Chardonnay, Viognier and Chenin Blanc took place in the middle of 2020. Prior to that the individual components were vinified separately using indigenous yeasts in a variety of containers including 225 and 500 litre French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. This wine delivers a naturally fresh, creamy and crisp palate. Just under 20% of this wine underwent malolactic fermentation.

A delightful tropical fruit salad nose is followed by a rounded full palate with freshening acidity.

Ideal with white fish or chicken.

Vegetarian and vegan.
