Graham Beck
In their pursuit of the perfect bubble, Graham Beck consistently raises the bar in terms of quality and distinction and has firmly established themselves as one of the world’s leading sparkling wine brands, devoted to quality and consistency. Since the launch of their maiden Méthode Cap Classique in 1991 these sought after, much lauded sparkling wines have not only been the celebratory toasts of international icons such as Mandela and Obama, but also garnered some of the industry’s most prestigious global accolades. Situated in the breathtaking Robertson Wine Valley (located a mere 140km from Cape Town in South Africa’s spectacular Western Cape Winelands), Graham Beck focuses on minimal intervention, allowing the authentic essence of the fruit and terroir to shine through. The unique climate of the region, combined with the rich limestone soils, produce wines which have become popular across the globe for their authenticity, versatility and elegance. At their state-of-the-art Cap Classique cellar the team crafts a range of internationally acclaimed Méthode Champenoise style wines, widely regarded as benchmarks in the industry.
Description
Deep golden colour, indicative of the dominant percentage of Pinot Noir in the blend. Prevalent notes of ripe red apple and confit lemon lead the aromatic profile, with hints of quince and lemon curd. Roasted almonds and warm spices unfolds layer upon layer in the glass. A soft yet generous entry on the palate is followed by a creamy texture and hints of liquorice, sweet spice and an indulgence of butterscotch and warm brioche. Finely integrated, creamy mousse entice with millions of tiny persistent bubbles. A true reflection of the complexities of a Cap Classique perfected by time.
Food Pairing
Ham Hock and Chicken Terrine served with Brioche and Pig Fat Butter.
