Graham Beck Brut (75cl, 11.5%)

Graham Beck Brut is a non-vintage Méthode Cap Classique sparkling wine from Robertson, South Africa, made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It is produced with whole-bunch pressing, stainless steel primary fermentation, blending with reserve wines, and secondary fermentation in bottle, then rests on its lees for about 18 months. Robertson's limestone-rich soils and warm days with cool nights shape the wine. The aroma brings green apple, ripe pear, citrus zest, brioche, almond and light toast, with hints of apricot and nectarine. The palate is crisp and citrus-driven, moving to peach, nectarine, chamomile and salted-butter richness, with fine persistent mousse. The finish is medium, creamy and mousse-driven, ending in citrus and almond with a clean mineral impression.
