Soaring 🦅 @thebeastwinecollection Soaring is a Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah blend from @holdenmanzwineestate in @franschhoeksa @holden.gerard says he had one wine in mind. This typical Australian new world blend was what @holden.gerard described as ‘true to form’ to celebrate the Rugby World Cup winning star, @tendaimtawarira #TasteLetsSee #thebeastwinecollection (at Embassy Towers) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmb4eZZqJ9o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It is truly incredible how the landscape changes as you journey from the verdant forests and fynbos hills of the #gardenroute on #Stage1 of the annual @transcapemtb MTB Experience. . . It is truly a 'Bicycle Journey across the Cape' and unarguably rates as one of South Africa's most scenic & stylish mountain-biking events. Today, riders from around the globe saddled up to journey from the #GardenRoute and across the #Karoo, #Hessequa and #Overberg Regions, all the way to the Cape #winelands . . This is not a race, but rather a quest for headspace and #MTB Stoke ... The first stage may well be done, but the six more days of having fun along this stunning route still awaits. Shot for a superb welcome, #Chandelier Game Farm 👌 And great work by the @ozone.africa Team of @zaneschmahl, @peterkirkmedia, @andrehugomedia & @jeffayliffe . . #volvocarsa #DHLAfrica #seattlecoffee Co #holdenmanzwine #bavariabeer #squirtcyclingproducts #TsitsikammaSpringWater #holdenmanzwineestate #serengetieyewear #ChickenSupreme #PremierFoods #bushnelloptics (at Oudtshoorn, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8FACxBJrGy/?igshid=i7ca1v8bg9ov

He Talks Like This ‘Cause He Can Back it Up 🐘 “The more we thought about the mad idea of making wine, the more we fell in love with it.”- @holdenmanzwineestate I was thrilled that at a recent tasting, a fellow wine enthusiast spoke about their love of the @holdenmanzwineestate Vernissage. Another exquisite red blend, @holdenmanzwineestate The Big G 2018 is comprised of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc. A fabulous wine, 12,000 bottles are produced a year. It pays homage to the elephant, which once called this exquisite valley home. A joy to taste this expressive, buxom wine with @holden.gerard and @blacc_2016, thank you for having me. #TasteLetsSee #Blacc2016 #HoldenManz #TheCatalystHotel (at The Catalyst Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClE9iXRqL6k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Between Me-n-u 🍔 @holdenmanzwineestate Cabernet Franc Reserve 2019 and Merlot Reserve 2019. The Cabernet Franc is tended to with care. @holden.gerard says their winemaker manicures the vineyard like it’s his back garden. This herbaceous wine is full of verve and while it is intense and sumptuous it has a tender quality to it. The Merlot, tasted in parallel is also picked carefully, @holden.gerard says that the winemaker prefers to pick it himself. This wine exhibits plum, forest floor and earthy characteristics. With sliders? Sublime #TasteLetsSee #HoldenManz #blacc2016 #TheCatalystHotel (at The Catalyst Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClE8DT5qrlx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pencil Case Shavings Scent is powerful in the way that it takes you back to a time and place in a personal way. @holdenmanzwineestate The Proprietor’s Reserve Red 2016. A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Shiraz from the farm in Franschoek at 14.5% alc. This intense, full-bodied wine exhibits cassis, tobacco and pencil case shaving characters. I would like to serve it with Pepper steak pie. It would also pair well with Oxtail or a pooitjie #TasteLetsSee #HoldenManz #Blacc2016 #TheCatalystHotel (at The Catalyst Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClE6ddUKRs2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Wine to Come Back To @holdenmanzwineestate Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2020 was one of my favourite wines at @winex_2022 It reaches right out of the glass and greets you with grace. I was delighted to taste it a few days later with @holden.gerard and @blacc_2016 With stone fruit and citrus characteristics, this wine comes from a cool climate vineyard overlooking the sea. It’s lovely and pretty, and would pair beautifully with cheesecake #TasteLetsSee #HoldenManz #Blacc2016 #TheCatalystHotel (at The Catalyst Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClCXfpnqGvE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Persistent Finish @holdenmanzwineestate Chenin Blanc 2021, the current release was hewn from vines planted in 1982 in the Paarl/Simonsberg area. 12,000 bottles are produced every year, 70% of which are sent to Germany, the wine’s biggest market. 20% stainless steel, 80% barrel fermented, the wine spends six months on the lees. @holden.gerard says that this is to ensure a more reductive than oxidative taste. With stone fruit and pineapple characteristics and a slightly toasty finish, I imagine this would be a sublime pairing with mussels cooked in white wine, garlic and cream and bread smeared with all the butter you can find.

Rosé? All Day ✨ I know I need a holiday, but I can actually imagine myself making Eggs Benedict and enjoying a glass of @holdenmanzwineestate Rothko Rosé 2022 with a view of the ocean. Are you with me lions? Holden Manz Rothko Rose 2022. Made from Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah. Tasted with @blacc_2016 at @the_catalyst_jhb’s Kashew Restaurant a few weeks ago. See? I need a holiday. #TasteLetsSee #Blacc2016 #HoldenManz #TheCatalystHotel (at The Catalyst Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck-Du5Bq1aK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Peer review. | “We tasted the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon blind against Cabernet Sauvignon grim this country and others, with 25 other people.

Wood and flame. | @holdenmanz Reserve Chardonnay (2017, Somerset West), paired with @marble_sa’s grilled octopus, fired pimento, roasted fennel bulb and saffron aioli. | The Chardonnay is citrus driven, with hints of toasted almonds. The wood integration might take a few more months of maturation. It walks a dynamic tightrope | #roseallday #holdenmanz #franschhoek #holdenmanzwineestate #toastedbarrels #marblesa #holdenmanzwine #tasteletssee #johannesburg #joburg #winelovers #chardonnay #vin #vino (at Marble) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqT-MNwHPVb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j3gl15qlit8k
