A Rich History of Holden Manz Wine Estate
Holden Manz Wine Estate was founded in the 1990s by Gerard Holden and Migo Man, who aimed to create outstanding wines from noble grape varietals. Their extensive travels to renowned wine regions around the world led them to select Franschhoek in the Western Cape of South Africa as the perfect location. Nestled between the Franschhoek and Stoney Brook rivers, the estate benefits from a unique terroir that produces remarkable red, white, rosé, and fortified wines.
Crafting Quality Wines
The estate primarily cultivates Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Syrah grapes. Their Big G 2009 Premium wine received a gold medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards in 2011, showcasing the quality of their offerings. Committed to sustainability, Holden Manz is transitioning to organic production by recycling waste, cultivating crops naturally, and minimizing energy consumption, with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality.
Artistry in Wine and Dining

Guests can enjoy a selection of gourmet dishes, including classic cheese and charcuterie platters and flavorful fish cakes. For those seeking relaxation, the estate offers a luxurious 5-star guest house and a rejuvenating day spa.
