"(2021) This Brut sparkling wine from Graham Beck is a 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, 80% from their home vineyards in Robertson, the rest from coastal vineyards of the Western Cape. There are few more experienced producers of MCC that Graham Beck, and this is lean, linear and lovely. There's a suggestion of bread and biscuit after 18 months on the lees and with around 10% of reserve wines in the blend, but pin-sharp lemon and rosy red apple aromas. On the palate, this has a great zesty length of lemony-fresh fruit, a salty and nutty aspect adding some layering into the finish. Dosage is 9g/l, but with no malolactic it is one of crispest, most refreshing wines in this line-up. Watch the video for more information. On offer at £10 in Waitrose until April 6th 2021, and in Majestic and other retailers too."

"(2019) A little herbal and juicy lemon character, there is a nice biscuit and gentle earthy character too. Mouthifilling, rolling mousse and lovely finesse here, with a big lemony, and precise, palate and finish. 9.5g/l dosage."

"Mittleres Grüngelb, Silberreflexe, feines Mousseux. Mit einem Hauch von frischen Wiesenkräutern unterlegte weiße Tropenfruchtanklänge, zarte Birnennote, feiner nussiger Touch. Saftig, gute Komplexität, gelbe Fruchtnuancen, etwas Honig im Abgang, dezente Süße auch im Nachhall."

"(2002) Very fresh, lively, lemon-fruited nose with steady, small bubbles. Lively on the palate too, more of that waxy lemon fruit, some pear and apple character, and a streak of lemon acidity. Medium weight, and good length."
