Elysium

Wine Of Origin Franschhoek South Africa Merlot/Syrah

Holden Manz Wines Elysium, a compelling red blend of Merlot and Syrah from the breathtaking Wine Of Origin Franschhoek region in South Africa, is a decadent delight. This full-bodied wine showcases a robust structure and deeply concentrated flavors. Crafted with meticulous care, the Elysium exudes an exquisite balance of pronounced, mouthwatering acidity that enlivens the complex layers of ripe, dark fruit, including blackberry, plum, and a hint of blackcurrant. The Syrah adds a tantalizing spiciness, complemented by subtle notes of oak and tobacco from its time in French barrels. The tannins are powerful yet finely structured, providing a long, elegant finish. Elysium perfectly captures the unique terroir of Franschhoek, an acclaimed winegrowing area known for its exceptional microclimate and storied winemaking traditions. This award-winning blend is a celebration of the region’s superb viticulture, offering an unforgettable tasting experience that wine enthusiasts will cherish.
