Holden Manz’s fantastic field blend, Visionaire, always brings a smile to the face.
The thrilling list of varieties can almost be a bit intimidating: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah/Shiraz, Merlot and Malbec. With such big-hitting varietals on show, can they all sing? Yes, they can… and in harmony too!
Great winemaking is the conductor here, with maturation for 22 months in 20% new French oak barrels and 80% 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels before blending and bottling.
Tasting Note: A smooth elegant focused palate with mid-palate ripeness and spicy supple finish. Red and black fruits dominate balanced with a graphite steeliness. The tannins are soft and refined and exquisitely round off the aromas of spice and fresh plum. Savoury, layered complexity with lots of finesse. The multiple grapes of this Bordeaux blend, including Syrah, allow each to show off its own unique characters while combining to produce an experience greater than the parts.
