Ultra Brut is the quintessence of the Graham Beck style. With a viridescent hue, this Cap Classique opens up with a lively bouquet of lemon zest and brioche notes. The rich, complex palate is perfectly balanced by fresh acidity and an exceptionally refined mousse - a benchmark of the 2017 vintage. Endowed with a deliciously creamy texture and a rewarding finish, this ultra-dry sparkling wine is ideal to drink now or in the next 5 or 8 years.

The fruit for this Cap Classique was hand-selected and hand-harvested from Chardonnay vineyard blocks grown on the limestone-rich soils on our Robertson Estate. This ensures a low pH and high natural acidity in the young base wine, which is essential for longevity. Yield was between 8-10 ton/ha. The Chardonnay was hand-selected and hand-picked at 19.0 to 20.0 Brix during the third week of January. Grapes were picked into lug boxes and then transferred to fruit bins for transport to the cellar, where the whole bunches were tipped into the presses and underwent a gentle and slow pressing cycle to extract the juice as softly as possible.

Only the highest quality cuvée juice is selected for this wine. The juice settled for two days before it was moved for fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a regulated 15˚C, with a portion of the base wine fermented in older barrels to ensure a creamy texture on the palate. Secondary fermentation commenced in the bottle during the start of July 2017 and was disgorged in August 2022, it was left on the lees for 62 months.
