Uncork a bottle of the Holden Manz Syrah and discover a wine that is both a nod to its classic French heritage and a bold expression of its South African home. The Syrah vines at Holden Manz are cultivated in challenging, pebbly soils, a deliberate choice by the winemakers to produce small, highly concentrated berries. This results in a wine with remarkable depth and a distinctive mineral core.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, yet possesses a surprising elegance and finesse. The layers of dark fruit and savory spice unfold beautifully, leading to a long, persistent finish that lingers on the palate. This is not a fruit-forward Shiraz; it is a sophisticated Syrah crafted for the discerning palate—a wine that promises to develop beautifully with time and reward those who appreciate subtlety and structure.
