This Graham Beck brut is made from two grape varieties, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully transported to the press in small crates. Pressing takes place in Graham Beck's cellars. The musts then undergo separate fermentation, creating the perfect blend for this delicious brut. Once the perfect blend is created, the wine is bottled with yeast and rests in the bottle for 15 to 18 months. During this period, the beautiful, subtle bubbles develop. The result is a wonderfully delicate and festive sparkling white wine. Also known as Vonkel Wyn in South Africa. The festive nature of this wine is evident, as evidenced by the inauguration of both Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama. They both favored this delicious Graham Beck Brut.
Upon pouring, we immediately see the light golden color with fine bubbles dancing in the glass. The nose reveals aromas of fresh citrus fruit and notes of ripe white fruit. On the palate, this Graham Beck Brut has a rich, creamy complexity accompanied by a very fine mousse that contributes to the freshness and finesse of this brut. The finish is rich and smooth, with a pleasant tingle on the tongue thanks to the beautiful mousse.
