Introduction:
The Graham Beck Non-Vintage Brut is one of South Africa’s most iconic sparkling wines, crafted in the Méthode Cap Classique—the same traditional method used in Champagne. Celebrated for its balance of freshness, finesse, and creamy depth, it has become a benchmark for high-quality, approachable sparkling wine from the Cape.

Terroir:
Sourced from Graham Beck’s estate vineyards in Robertson, part of South Africa’s Western Cape. Limestone-rich soils give structure and mineral character, while the region’s sunny days and cool evenings ensure ripe fruit with crisp natural acidity—ideal conditions for sparkling wine.

Appearance:
Pale golden straw with fine, persistent bubbles forming an elegant mousse.

Nose:
Expressive yet refined, with aromas of green apple, ripe pear, and citrus zest. Hints of brioche, almond, and light toast from lees aging add complexity and depth.

Palate:
Lively and refreshing, offering flavors of orchard fruit, white peach, and lemon zest. The mousse is creamy yet delicate, with well-integrated acidity providing precision and balance. Subtle notes of brioche and nuttiness enhance the texture without overwhelming the fruit.

Finish:
Crisp and persistent, echoing citrus and toasty notes over a clean, mineral-driven frame.

Overall Impression:
The Graham Beck Brut NV captures everything that makes Cap Classique a world-class category. Its vibrant fruit, creamy texture, and mineral freshness are seamlessly balanced, creating a sparkling wine that is elegant, versatile, and celebratory. Whether enjoyed as an aperitif, with seafood, or at the heart of a toast, it delivers Champagne-like sophistication at an exceptional value.
