Cape Dreams News from in and around the Cape
Holden Manz wine estate is located above the Franschhoek valley overlooked by magnificent mountains which stand guard over the beautiful valley below. Situated between the Franschhoek & Stony Brook rivers, this 22 hectare wine estate, with its fertile and dark loam soils produces superb wines in a state-of-the-art cellar.
Located amidst the vines at the entrance to the Franschhoek Kitchen restaurant is the wine tasting lounge. There you will be welcomed with a tutored tasting of the award winning wines. Be sure to taste the beautifully fragrant rosé, our well-structured reds and the sweet ending to your tasting, our Goods Port Cape Vintage – a decadent port-style wine. The climax is a tasting of the iconic red wine named after proprietor, Gerard Holden. The Big G is the gold medal winning Bordeaux-style blend that demonstates what hard work in the cellar and vineyards can achieve.
It is a fitting tribute to Gerard and certainly a wine to take home to your own cellar.
Opening Hours: Mon – Sundays 10:00 – 17:00
Tasting Fee: R30.00 per person, buy 3 bottles per person and tasting is free
