Graham Beck Blanc de Blancs 2020 750ml is an exceptional vintage Cap Classique crafted exclusively from 100% Chardonnay sourced from the limestone-rich vineyards of the Robertson Wine Valley. Only the finest tête de cuvée juice is selected through gentle whole-bunch pressing before fermentation. Around 46% of the base wine is fermented and matured in seasoned French oak barrels and large French foudres for five months, adding richness and complexity while preserving the purity of the fruit. The wine then undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle and matures on its lees for an impressive 60 months, creating remarkable finesse, depth, and a beautifully persistent mousse. The 2020 vintage is a superb expression of Graham Beck’s internationally acclaimed Cap Classique craftsmanship.

The nose reveals vibrant aromas of fresh lemon, grapefruit, white peach, and pear, beautifully complemented by notes of brioche, roasted almonds, and delicate spice. On the palate, elegant layers of citrus, apricot, crisp Granny Smith apple, and ripe peach are balanced by a luxuriously creamy texture, lively acidity, and a refined mineral backbone. The finish is long, fresh, and impeccably balanced, with lingering hints of toasted brioche and citrus zest. Graham Beck Blanc de Blancs 2020 is an outstanding aperitif and pairs beautifully with oysters, sushi, scallops, grilled seafood, creamy cheeses, and refined poultry dishes.
