The Hiro Rosé 2025 from Holden Manz is a lively and expressive Franschhoek rosé with both energy and refinement. Named after the owners’ daughter, Hiro reflects her vibrant personality - bright, elegant, and full of character.
In the glass, the wine shows fresh aromas of apricot and red berry fruit with a subtle mineral edge. The palate is vibrant yet polished, offering flavors of fresh apricots, delicate raspberry, sea salt, and wet stone minerality. A creamy texture adds depth, while the wine’s natural freshness keeps everything beautifully balanced. The finish is long, clean, and quietly elegant.
This is a rosé made to elevate warm afternoons and celebratory meals alike. It pairs wonderfully with lobster, grilled seafood, mango and avocado salads, or light summer dishes.

The wine is made in true Provençal style. Dry and fruit driven, the wine is made from 80% Grenache and 20% Cinsault. Grapes are hand harvested early morning at around 22.5 balling. The winemaking process is executed in reductive conditions with the use of dry ice and carbon dioxide gas. Grapes are crushed at 5°C with approximately 3 hours skin contact gained during a light pressing.
One day of juice settling followed by racking before spontaneous fermentation at 14°C for approximately 20 days. The wine is matured on fine lees for an additional 7 months with a regular batônnage before the final blending and bottling. Approximately 20% was fermented in a 2 year old 500 liter Baron French oak barrel and stirred on the lees until filtered.
