Graham Beck Ultra Brut 2018 750ml is an exceptional vintage Cap Classique crafted in the Western Cape using the traditional Méthode Cap Classique from a blend of 65% Chardonnay and 35% Pinot Noir. Produced with zero dosage, no sugar is added after disgorgement, allowing the purity of the fruit, exceptional vineyard quality, and distinctive terroir to shine through. Only the finest tête de cuvée juice is selected before secondary fermentation in the bottle, where the wine matures on its lees for an impressive 62 months. The 2018 vintage is a benchmark release, delivering remarkable finesse, freshness, and complexity while showcasing Graham Beck’s internationally acclaimed expertise in crafting world-class Cap Classique.

The nose reveals elegant aromas of lemon zest, brioche, fresh citrus, and subtle orchard fruit, complemented by delicate hints of toasted almonds and mineral complexity. On the palate, vibrant citrus flavours and creamy pastry notes are beautifully balanced by crisp natural acidity and an exceptionally fine, persistent mousse. Rich yet precise, the wine finishes long, dry, and refreshing with lingering notes of citrus, brioche, and chalky minerality. Graham Beck Ultra Brut 2018 is an outstanding aperitif and pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, langoustines, sushi, sashimi, caviar, and other delicate seafood dishes, while offering excellent drinking potential over the next several years.
