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.
From the limestone-richest parcels in Robertson, Graham Beck proves with this single-varietal Chardonnay that South Africa can produce world-class sparkling wine: a full 60 months of lees ageing after fermentation in wood and stainless steel shape a Cap Classique of compelling finesse. Five selected clones come together here in pure freshness and mineral depth. In the glass, a lively gold with green reflections glimmers, while fine citrus notes, white peach and pear rise to meet you. With a little air, the bouquet gains complexity and reveals nuances of fresh brioche and toasted almonds. On the palate, creamy mousse meets juicy Granny Smith apple, driven by electrifying acidity of 9.1 grams per litre, perfectly balanced by 5.0 grams of residual sugar. This taut, vibrantly chalky texture carries the wine, with its slender 12% alcohol, into an almost endless finish. Enjoy this sparkling wine best at 6 to 8 degrees as an invigorating start to long evenings.

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.
