Holden Manz Rothko Rose 2025
Located in the southern part of the Franschhoek Valley, between the Franschhoek River and Stony Brook, Holden Manz Wine Estate sits among the mountains at approximately 300 metres above sea level. The estate's setting brings together mountain influences and a Mediterranean climate, conditions that help preserve freshness and aromatic character in its wines. Holden Manz Rothko Rosé 2025 is named after the owner's son and is made in a Provençal style. The blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault is whole-bunch pressed under dry ice using a Champagne press cycle, with less than three hours of average skin contact. The grapes were picked between 30 January and 26 February 2025, and the wine was bottled on 19 November 2025. The approach prioritises delicate colour, fresh fruit and a gently creamy texture.
Colour: Pale rosé with a delicate pink hue.
Nose: Fresh red cherry and strawberry aromas lead the profile, with subtle floral notes and a gentle mineral character.
Palate: Dry and refreshing, with early-season cherry flavours supported by lively acidity. The palate has a smooth, creamy texture, with riverstone minerality adding focus and a little savoury complexity.
Finish: Clean and lingering, with red fruit, fresh citrus and a delicate mineral impression
- Food Pairing : Holden Manz Rothko Rosé 2025 is a natural match for grilled prawns with lemon, fresh goat's cheese salad, salmon poke bowls, roast chicken with herbs or a Mediterranean-style mezze platter. Its crisp acidity and dry fruit profile work well with seafood and fresh salads, while the creamy texture adds enough weight to complement chicken and richer appetisers. The cherry and mineral character also pairs nicely with lightly spiced dishes and fresh herbs.
