Introduction:
The NV Graham Beck Brut Rosé is a benchmark sparkling wine from South Africa, crafted in the traditional Méthode Cap Classique. Known for its vibrant fruit, elegant texture, and refined mousse, it has earned a reputation as one of the finest rosé sparklers outside Champagne.
Terrior:
The fruit is sourced from high-quality vineyard sites in Robertson and Western Cape, where limestone-rich soils provide natural freshness and minerality. The region’s warm days and cool nights allow for balanced ripening while retaining crisp acidity, perfect for sparkling wine production.
Appearance:
Delicate salmon-pink with fine, persistent bubbles and a lively sparkle.
Nose:
Bright aromas of ripe strawberries, raspberries, and cherries are lifted by floral notes of rose petals and hints of citrus zest. Subtle brioche and mineral undertones add depth and refinement.
Palate:
Light to medium-bodied with a creamy mousse. Fresh red berry fruit mingles with citrus and a touch of baked pastry complexity from lees aging. Crisp acidity keeps the wine vibrant and refreshing throughout.
Finish:
Clean, elegant, and persistent—lingering with notes of red fruit and subtle toast.
Overall Impression:
The NV Graham Beck Brut Rosé is a vibrant, elegant sparkling rosé that combines lively red fruit with refined texture and mineral freshness. Crafted in the traditional method, it offers balance, depth, and finesse—delicious as an aperitif, celebratory toast, or versatile pairing with seafood, charcuterie, and light poultry dishes.
