English: Graham Beck Wines Spanish: Vinos de Graham Beck Dutch: Wijnen van Graham Beck French: Vins de Graham Beck
The Winery Graham Beck is among South Africa’s most renowned wineries and has made a name for itself especially with its sparkling wines. The Winery, founded in 1983, in the Robertson wine region is known for its outstanding Cap Classique sparkling wines, produced using the traditional method. Here, the grape varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are used.
The Beck family places great value on sustainability and cultivates the vineyards with respect for nature. Cellar master Pieter Ferreira (known as Mr. Bubbles) is responsible for the sparkling wine production and has contributed significantly to the winery’s international success. Under his leadership, the estate has been honored with numerous national and international awards .
Of particular note are the elegance and finesse of Graham Beck’s sparkling wines, which are often referred to as South Africa’s answer to Champagne. Their Cap Classique sparkling wines are the result of careful manual work and many years of experience, reflected in every glass.
South Africa shows with Graham Beck’s Bliss Nectar just how exciting and hedonistic a Méthode Cap Classique from the Western Cape can be. Hand-picked grapes from the Robertson Estate and other prime sites come together in a sparkling wine that radiates pure joie de vivre in the glass. Following gentle whole-bunch pressing and twelve months of lees ageing, an irresistibly charming bouquet unfolds on the nose. Ripe citrus and stone fruits meet fine butter caramel, honey and praline, lending the aromas wonderfully inviting depth. On the palate, the cuvée of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and nuances of Alvarinho, Pinot Gris, Viura, Colombar and Pinot Meunier offers a spectacular interplay: generous residual sugar of 38.3 grams is perfectly balanced by precise, firm acidity of 7.4 grams, keeping the Cap Classique wonderfully juicy and dynamic at 12.04% ABV. Chilled to 6 to 8 °C, this sparkling wine is made for exuberant celebrations and exciting contrasts on the palate.

Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
