Grapes for the Holden Manz Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 were picked at optimal ripeness to enable the correct balance between sugar and phenolic components. Individual batches were bunch and berry sorted, crushed and destalked to tank. Natural fermentation started after 10 days cold soaking. The wine was matured in an equal combination of 225- and 500-litre French oak barrels for 18 months. Residual sugar: 2.9g/l. Bottled at 14.5%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: An intense nose filled with a strong line of cassis and a whiff of cloves. Lesser notes of blackberry and pencil shavings.

Palate: Refined dense palate with a complex array of fruits. The middle palate is full and shows width with complexity and depth.

Finish: A long, full finish.
