Rated 88 by Wine Advocate
Made from a blend of 51% Chardonnay and 49% Pinot Noir, the NV Brut begins with bright citrus tones of lemon peel, green and yellow apple skin and elements of citrus blossom and underripe pineapple. Medium-bodied, the palate is lively and crisp with energetic acidity and a bright, incredibly versatile mouthfeel. The Brut ends with a delightful and lingering finish that overdelivers at this price point. For twenty bucks, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better sparkler—until you try the Brut Rosé. 600,000 bottles were filled after spending 15 to 18 months on the lees before disgorgement. Graham Beck remains one of the most recognizable producers of Méthode Cap Classique and it is no wonder this particular bottling has earned the nickname the “President’s Choice,” as it was served at Nelson Mandela’s inauguration and Barack Obama’s presidential victory.

A very pretty nose of fresh flowers, citrus and creamy toast leads into a balanced, rich Chardonnay-like character on the palate. Minerally, clean, fresh but serious, this wine is food-friendly and elegant. (Editors’ Choice)

A pretty sparkler, featuring notes of brioche and salted butter and hints of nectarine. Very well-balanced, this shows some complexity and delivers lots of immediate pleasure. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now. 5,000 cases imported.

Varietal: Champagne Blend

The careful blending of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varietal grapes has long been the secret to the success of the famous sparkling wines of the Champagne region. The wines of this region have gone down in history as the finest example of France's sparkling produce, and the methods of processing the grapes in this region have been imitated in almost every wine producing country in the world. There are actually seven different grape varietals allowed to be included in a Champagne sparkling wine, although grape varietals such as Pinot Blanc, Arbanne and Pinot Gris are used less and less commonly in its production. Whilst the Chardonnay varietal grapes offer their distinctive biscuit flavor and wonderful astringency, it is the Pinot Noir grapes (most commonly used for producing beautifully light red wines) which give the Champagne wines their length and backbone.

Country: South Africa

Situated on the very tip of the African continent, South Africa has proved itself over three centuries to be an ideal location for producing a wide range of wines. Benefiting from something not dissimilar to a Mediterranean climate, with long, hot summers complemented by both Atlantic and Indian Ocean winds, the grapes which grow on the valleys, mountainsides and plains of this fascinating country can ripen to their fullest capacity, producing wines packed full of fruity flavors and an array of interesting and enticing aromas. As a former colony, South Africa has long since been home to a range of different nationalities, who each brought something of their wine culture with them. As such, many European grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling and others have been given time to flourish in South Africa, allowing the country to develop a diverse group of wine types which are proving increasingly popular around the world.
