Holden Manz Vernissage 2021
14.5% abv
Vol- 75cl
Merlot 38%, Syrah 36%, Cabernet Sauvignon 26%. The three cultivars in this blend add a medley of flavours ranging from ripe cherries, mulberry, blackberry and floral notes, with an alluring meaty undertone. This approachable yet refined wine offers enticing aromas of mulberry and blackberry that seamlessly extend from the nose to the palate. With its superb balance and smooth tannins, it’s an exceptional choice for any occasion.
The 2021 harvest was approximately two weeks later than normal due to cooler weather throughout the season, which persisted through harvest time and expressed itself with higher acidity wines. The season produced strong vine growth with good bunch and berry sizes.
