Graham Beck

Die Geschichte des Weingutes Graham Beck beginnt 1983, als Graham Beck die Farm Madeba in der Nähe des Städtchens Robertson im Distrikt Cape Winelands erwarb. Sein Ziel: Weine von Welt-Niveau zu kreieren. Der Erfolg stellte sich schnell ein, und das Weingut sicherte sich zusätzliche Anbauflächen in Küstennähe in der Stellenbosch-Region.

Die Weinkeller sind nicht nur mit dem modernsten Equipment ausgestattet, sie verfügen auch jeweils über eine eigene Abfüllanlage, so dass die Qualität vom Weinberg bis zur Flasche komplett von einem Team kontrolliert werden kann.

Product recommendation

Graham Beck Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) Brut
An all round crowd pleaser and extremely versatile bubbly crafted from a selection of the classic MCC varieties, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.Both varietals were hand-picked: Chardonnay at 18-19.5°B for fruit and elegance and Pinot Noir at 18.5-20°B for complexity and length of flavour. In the cellar whole bunch pressing ensures fractional recovery. After settling of the juice the two varieties are fermented separately. They are then cross-blended along with reserve wine if necessary, bottled and left for 15 to 18 months yeast contact time before disgorgement. Light yeasty aromas and secondary tones of limey fresh fruit on the nose with rich creamy complexity on the palate. The exceptionally fine mousse contributes freshness and finesse.
