Graham Beck Méthode Cap Classique Brut Pinot Noir/Rosé Sparkling Chardonnay is a brilliant example of South Africa’s esteemed sparkling tradition, meticulously crafted using the time-honoured méthode champenoise. This blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay displays a striking blush hue, while the nose teases with hints of freshly baked brioche, zesty citrus peel, and a touch of roasted almonds. On the palate, the wine is robust yet refreshingly brisk, with an expertly measured dosage that maintains its inviting character without sacrificing its lively spirit. An exceptional choice for festive occasions, it pairs beautifully with crispy calamari and chargrilled shrimp skewers.

Pinot Noir Chardonnay Rosé Sparkling food pairings: planked salmon, shellfish, foie gras, pasta with cheese-based sauce.

Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Love the packaging as it epitomizes "Be My Valentine" in the pretty ballet pink foil wrapping. Inside is just as pretty and enticing with twinkling pink juice crafted with 50% Pinot Noir to give that delicate hue. Fresh summer red berries, floral, toast, wet stone and citrus. Fine mousse and refreshing acidity. Superb!

Graham Beck's Brut sparkling rosé is made in the Méthode Cap Classique exclusive to South Africa. This sparkler comes to us from the Western Cape wine region there and is a full-bodied, toasty sparkling wine with cherry and strawberry flavours from 50% Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wine grapes from which it is made. Serve chilled on its own of with starters. Fresh, delicious and a great value bubble! - Community Wine Reviews
