What’s your favourite wine at Holden Manz and what dish will you pair it with?
With no doubt the Holden Manz Big G 2009 which is a Bordeaux Blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Cabernet Franc and also our flagship. This is a beautiful blend of two of my favourite varietals which is named after one of our owners, Gerard Holden.I will pair it with a leg of lamb which has been marinated in loads of red wine, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper for at least a day and then slow roasted in the oven.

Share a secret of the restaurant at Holden Manz that we probably don’t know?
