Holden Manz Big G 2018 is produced from a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Cabernet Franc. The individual varieties were handpicked and sorted allowing only the best berries to be used for this wine. Selected blocks in the vineyard are allocated to be used in making the Big G. Grapes were harvested 28 March 2018 and co-fermented in open top fermenters. All grapes fermented wild; 10% barrel fermented in new wood. Matured for 20 months in 30% new 225-litre French oak barrels. Bottled on 15 September 2020. Residual sugar: 2.8g/l. Bottled at 14%. (Bottle size 750ml)
Nose: Cassis, raspberry, graphite, a subtle herbaceousness, nuances of blueberry, pomegranate and thyme backed with hints of cedar wood and pencil shavings.
Palate: Soft, voluptuous integrated tannins with a rich creamy cassis freshness. Silky smooth mid-palate.
Finish: A finish which is full of dark fruit and long lingering flavours. Great tension and balance!
