Holden Manz Semillon Reserve 2023

A 25 year old patch of Franschhoek-grown grapes within sight of Holden Manz produced a yield around 6 tonnes per hectare. Grapes were manually harvested early in the morning, refrigerated to 5C before undergoing whole-bunch pressing. Following settling and racking 25% was naturally fermented in second-fill barrels. The remainder was fermented at 14C in stainless steel tanks. Wine was stirred on fine lees for 9 months prior to bottling on 8 November 2023. Limited production of 1,041 bottles produced.
