Holden Manz Elysium 2020 5yo Finish: A well-integrated tannin structureHolden Manz Elysium 2020 is produced from a blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Syrah. The fourth vintage of this unique co fermented wine is only possible due to the rare occurrence of Merlot and Syrah ripening at the same time on the Holden Manz farm in Franschhoek. The individual varietals were hand picked on 17 March 2020 and then hand sorted allowing only the most optimally ripe berries to be used for this wine. Three brand new 225 litre French oak
