Product information "Holden Manz Big G 2014"
With an intense and highly concentrated ruby red colour in the glass, the Holden Manz Big G exudes a veritable explosion of aromas, dominated by dark cherries, red and black plums, a subtle herbaceousness, fir needles, blueberries, green mint, paired with a fine hint of fragrant cedar wood and pencil shavings in the background. Soft, rich and well integrated tannin on the palate with delicious nuances of creamy cassis. A smooth, soft wine with lush dark fruit on the long and pleasantly lingering palate.

The grapes for the Holden Manz Big G were hand-picked and with great care only the best grapes were selected for the further production process. Only the grapes from very specific vineyard plots were used for the production of the Big G. The different grape varieties were separately subjected to malolactic fermentation in 30% new French oak and 70% previously occupied oak. The wines then matured for 24 months in the same barrels, after which the best barrels were selected. The result is a full-bodied, well structured and wonderfully balanced Bordeaux blend.
