Winemakers Comments
The Vernissage flows with a brilliant ruby red hue into the gourmet’s glass. The scent of red and blackberries, underlined by a hint of spice, fills the air. Nuances of dark cherries and plums become apparent whilst on the palate, aromas of blackcurrants, spices, and tobacco can clearly be detected. The mature yet soft tannins and balanced acidity make the Holden Manz Vernissage an elegant wine with a velvety finish that lingers for a long time.

Named after owners Gerard Holden and Migo Mans, this Franschhoek property was originally developed into a wine farm in 1999. Located in the top, southern-most corner of the Franschhoek Valley, in the embrace of its spectacular mountains, the 22 hectares Holden Manz Wine Estate is situated between the Franschhoek River and Stony Brook at 300 meters above sea level. Today it is a lifestyle destination, boasting five-star guest house and spa, restaurant, picnics by the Franschhoek river, with an art collection housed in the town.
An exclusive grower of red grapes, the Estate only cultivates its top 16 hectares under vineyards, notably Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Merlot resulting in the production of ultra-premium wines made for the discerning wine connoisseur.
