Wines by Graham Beck
Graham Beck Sparkling Brut Rosé
Graham Beck's Brut Rosé has earned its place among the world's finest sparkling wines, even being served at Barack Obama's presidential inauguration. This isn't just good South African bubbly – it's exceptional sparkling wine by any standard. Produced using the same traditional method as Champagne, with secondary fermentation in the bottle and extended aging on the lees, this predominantly Pinot Noir blend delivers both elegance and character. The South African sunshine gives the wine a touch more fruit expression than typical Champagne rosé, while still maintaining refined structure and complexity. It's the perfect bottle for making any occasion special – from romantic dinners to Sunday brunch – without the premium price tag of pink Champagne.
Graham Beck Brut
Graham Beck has earned its reputation as South Africa's premier sparkling wine producer, creating méthode champenoise bubbles that can compete with wines twice the price. This Brut was even served at Nelson Mandela's presidential inauguration – not a bad endorsement! Made in the same traditional method as Champagne (with secondary fermentation in the bottle), this blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir delivers impressive complexity and refinement. The South African climate gives the wine a bit more fruit expression than typical Champagne, while still maintaining elegant structure and that distinctive brioche character from extended lees aging. It's the perfect bottle for celebrations or for making ordinary moments feel special – without the sticker shock of French Champagne.
