Saturday, 1 September - Sunday, 2 September
Celebrate Spring Day with your first taste of the brand new 2012 Holden Manz Rosé and enjoy two days of great festivities, live music, fine dining, exceptional wines and Spa treats at this magnificent wine estate as part of the popular Franschhoek Uncorked Festival, held from Saturday, 1 September to Sunday, 2 September.
Visit the festival tent at the Franschhoek Kitchen, the signature restaurant at Holden Manz, where ShenFm, fronted by Shen Winberg of Idols fame, will entertain music lovers, creating the perfect atmosphere to sip on the new Rosé on 1 September.
Boasting a beautiful salmon pink, peachy colour and subtle nuances of fresh strawberries and cherries with hints of minerality, the 2012 Holden Manz Rosé is the maiden vintage of winemaker Schalk Opperman. Enjoy this crisp, refreshing Spring aperitif with delicious tapas and light meals prepared by Executive Chef Cheyne Morrisby at the Franschhoek Kitchen during the festival.
Wine lovers can savour exquisite pairings with local artisanal cheeses at the tasting room. Don’t miss out on the Holden Manz flagship and Decanter Gold Medal winner, the Big G 2009.
For the ultimate festival indulgence, the Holden Manz Spa will offer Spring Specials such as the deluxe Shape Up For Summer Treatment (which includes an Africology Slimming Detox Mud Wrap Treatment) and the Top to Toe package (full body exfoliation and massage), as well as a revitalising quick massage at the festival tent.
