That's the best way to describe Graham Beck wines. Several former presidents were captivated by the towering quality and flavor offered by Graham Beck. For example, Graham Beck dominated President Nelson Mandela's inauguration, and Barack Obama is reportedly a big fan of Graham Beck's sparkling wines. Naturally, with the iconic champagne cork.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eGraham Beck's South African wines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n Graham Beck has its origins in South Africa. The success of the sparkling wines is largely due to Pieter Ferreira, a South African with a passion for surfing. In 1990, he assembled a successful team with prominent names in South African wine, including Jan Boland Coetzee, a pioneer from Stellenbosch, Achim von Arnim of Haute Cabriere, and Mr. Beck, the winery's namesake. Thanks to the careful investment and innovation in the vineyards, Graham Beck wines have achieved almost iconic status.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The Graham Beck wines with champagne cork\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n Graham Beck's sparkling wines are truly South Africa's answer to Champagne. The grapes used are almost identical, which isn't surprising. Both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are grapes that thrive in South African vineyards. The oceanic influence ensures a well-developed, mature grape.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nJust like with Champagne, Graham Beck also has a Blanc de Blanc wine. The Graham Beck Blanc de Blancs is a sparkling delight featuring only Chardonnay. This gives the bouquet a full, powerful bouquet, making it the ideal wine. Further proof that Graham Beck wines can be considered high-quality Champagne.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Graham Beck's sparkling wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n Graham Beck offers a variety of sparkling wines. The Graham Beck Rosé has been one of Graham Beck's best-selling wines for years. The classic Graham Beck Brut is also a welcome addition to many aperitifs. Besides the standard bottles of Graham Beck, the winery also has something special for the more discerning consumer. The Graham Beck Brut Magnum is a large bottle of sparkling wine, containing a generous 1.5 liters of premium Graham Beck Brut. This bottle will fill you with over 12 glasses, enough for a large group to toast.","products":[{"product_id":"graham-beck-mcc-brut-classic","title":"Graham Beck MCC Brut Classic","description":"\u003cp\u003eDo you have something to celebrate, or are you as passionate about sparkling wines as we are?

This beautiful, delicate sparkling South African rosé is a true gem among sparkling wines. Or, in South Africa, it's called Vonkel Wyn. The history of this series of sparkling wines is due to the collaboration between Graham Beck and winemaker Pieter Ferreira. This winemaker has a different background than one might initially expect: dentistry. After completing his studies, he wanted to pursue a different path and was given the opportunity to work in South Africa under the guidance of a renowned winemaker and in the Champagne region of France. In France, he developed a true love and knowledge of sparkling wine. Pieter had already built a good reputation, which Graham Beck was involved in. This winery wanted to start producing sparkling wines and needed the right person for this. This combination proved to be a golden duo!\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Graham Beck's Old Rosé Vineyard\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis Graham Beck Brut Rosé is made from Pinot Noir grapes, along with a small portion of Chardonnay. Both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are excellent sparkling wines, a clear link to the grapes used for Champagne. Pinot Noir also imparts a beautiful light pink color when gently pressed. These Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes are harvested at perfect ripeness. This harvest is carried out entirely by hand to ensure only the finest fruit is pressed. The bunches are then transported in small crates to the press. This prevents unnecessary crushing, which can easily lose the finest juice. The juice from both grape varieties is fermented separately, after which the final blend is created. After this, the bottles, with their yeast, are aged in Graham Beck's cellars for 36 months, where the subtle mousse develops.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eWhat does the Graham Beck Brut Rosé taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n What a treat it is to taste this Graham Beck Brut Rosé! The salmon-pink color alone makes the sun shine. The aroma offers a rich yet perfectly balanced bouquet of red fruits like strawberries, raspberries, and cherries. A refreshing hint of grapefruit finishes. The palate is wonderfully smooth, with pleasant red fruit nuances balanced by a hint of citrus. The fine mousse leaves a pleasant mouthfeel. The finish is smooth and refreshing with a subtle tingle.","brand":"Wijntransport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775925915727,"sku":"6982","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/graham-beck-rose-brut_6982.webp?v=1770110140"},{"product_id":"graham-beck-blanc-de-blancs","title":"Graham Beck Blanc de Blancs","description":"When we think of bubbles, we think of the delicious sparkling wines of Graham Beck. This Graham Beck Blanc de Blancs in particular. This Vonkel Wyn, as sparkling wines are called in South Africa, is one of the gems of winemaker Pieter Ferreira. If anyone can make beautiful sparkling wines, it's him. Sometimes he makes things very difficult for himself, as with this Graham Beck Blanc de Blancs. Besides the fact that this wine is made from just one grape variety, the grapes also come from a single vintage. The Graham Beck winery has always dreamed of creating such a gastronomic gem, but it certainly wouldn't have been possible without Pieter Ferreira.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Made solely from Chardonnay grapes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis Graham Beck Blanc de Blancs is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes and can only be produced in exceptionally good vintages. Because only Chardonnay is used, a perfect blend is impossible; the winemaker must make the best of what he has. The Chardonnay grapes grow in sunny, warm vineyards. The soil is very chalky, which is perfect for these grapes. Fortunately, these vineyards receive sufficient coolness at night to give the grapes some rest and freshness. At perfect ripeness, the grapes are harvested by hand, with a strict selection process. Only the finest fruit is used for this Vintage. After pressing, 50% of the wine is aged in barrels for three months, after which the wines are recombined and left to mature in the cellars with yeast in the bottle for 36 months.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does Graham Beck Blanc de Blancs taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe result is phenomenal!

A pleasant mineral note at the finish, characteristic of a Blanc de Blancs. The mouthfeel is very pleasant. The full structure of the Chardonnay combined with the delicate, classic mousse—truly superb! The palate offers rich notes of brioche, mandarin, and apricot. These are interspersed with hints of mango and vanilla. The finish is crisp and dry with a mineral undertone. Perfect to pair with oysters.","brand":"Wijntransport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775888166991,"sku":"6981","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/graham-beck-blanc-de-blancs_6981.webp?v=1770110140"},{"product_id":"graham-beck-mcc-brut-magnum-in-giftbox","title":"Graham Beck MCC Brut Magnum in gift box","description":"Do you have something to celebrate, or do you love sparkling wines as much as we do?

Although the winery has a relatively short history (it was founded in 1990), it already has an impressive track record. This is all thanks to Pieter Ferreira, a South African with a passion for sparkling wines. He brought together the biggest names in the South African wine world and founded Graham Beck, which, thirty years after its founding, remains a leader.

With this Cuvée Clive, the winemaker aims to showcase the fine craftsmanship of Graham Beck. We certainly understand that after tasting this wine. But the story all begins in the vineyards, located across the street from the wine cellars in Robertson, to be precise. The vineyards are filled exclusively with Chardonnay vines and are of considerable age. This results in a superb harvest of ripe and full bunches. The full bunches are partly due to the rich soil structure, primarily containing limestone and gravel, which nourishes the vines. The blend has the right acidity, allowing the Chardonnay grapes to ripen very evenly.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The harvest for the Graham Beck Cuvee Clive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nWhen the Chardonnay grapes reach full ripeness, they are harvested in the early morning of January. While the grapes are still dormant and retain their natural freshness, they are hand-picked. Each Chardonnay bunch is inspected and carefully placed in small crates to minimize damage to the bunches during transport. Because only the best is good enough for this premium cuvée!\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Graham Beck's Best Cuvée\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOnce the grapes arrive at Graham Beck, they are pressed, and what makes this truly special is that only 400 liters are used per ton of grapes. This essentially means the finest juice with the highest flavor concentration. The beautiful golden-yellow juice then matures for at least three months in special barrels. This is followed by the same technique as for French Champagne: the bottles are aged with yeast and sugar in Graham Beck's cellars. However, the aging process takes a considerable amount of time, up to sixty months. As you can imagine, the long cellaring period has resulted in a beautiful and full flavor.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Full and very powerful this Graham Beck Cuvee Clive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nWhen opening the Champagne cork, the cork gently releases, releasing aromas of apricots and apples.

The palate develops a lovely, soft mousse with nuances of citrus fruit, yellow stone fruit, and, of course, roasted nuts. On the back of the palate, this Cuvée Clive truly proves to be the best, as we noted lovely acidity, abundant peaches, and a touch of freshly baked bread.
