Vernissage is a refined red blend of Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Individual varieties were bunch and berry sorted, crushed and destalked to tank. Fermentation was initiated after 8 days cold soaking. Minimal additions were made to preserve the true cultivar characteristics of the grapes and to minimize man-made impact on the wine.

Maturation included 18 months in 3rd fill French oak barrels and for the remainder of the time in stainless steel before bottling.

Vernissage stands out for its seamless interplay of three varietals, delivering a wine that is both elegant and expressive from release and through 7–10 years of ageing.

Pairing Suggestions: Roasted duck with berry jus, mushroom risotto or grilled venison medallions.

Tasting Note: The three varieties in this blend add a medley of flavours ranging from ripe cherries, mulberry, blackberry and floral notes, with an alluring meaty undertone. With its superb balance and smooth tannins, it's an exceptional choice for any occasion.

Holden Manz

Holden Manz Wine Estate sits at the southern tip of the Franschhoek Valley, cradled between the Franschhoek River and Stony Brook at 300 m above sea level. Founded in 2010 by Gerard Holden and Migo Manz, this 22ha estate planted on three distinct soil types that mirror the valley’s dramatic, mountainous setting. Winters here are long, cold and wet, giving vines a well-earned rest, while summer’s heat and autumn’s gentle breezes allow grapes to ripen slowly, concentrating flavour and structure in each berry.

Winemaker Thierry Haberer, Bordeaux-trained and Michel Rolland-mentored, brings a global pedigree to this terroir. Thierry’s cellar is designed for intimacy and precision: small-batch fermenters, open-plan barrels for hands-on élevage, and a streamlined flow from harvest to bottle minimise handling to preserve each parcel’s personality. Committed to sustainability, Holden Manz has also embraced solar power with 65 kW of panels now offset much of the estate’s energy needs, ensuring that every bottle reflects both the land’s natural bounty and the estate’s environmental stewardship.
