VARIETY: Pinot Noir 58% / Chardonnay 42% VINTAGE: Non Vintage
AREA OF ORIGIN: Western Cape, South Africa

VINEYARD:

A selection of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from our Robertson Estate Vineyard and hand selected parcels from other geographical areas of the Western Cape, which ensures continuity of this particular style of Cap Classique.

HARVEST DETAILS:

Both varietals are handpicked: Chardonnay at 18-19.5°B for fruit and elegance. Pinot Noir at 18.5-20°B for complexity and length of flavour and all base wines produced in our specialist Méthode Cap Classique cellar in Robertson.

CELLAR TREATMENT:

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes are pressed separately in whole bunches to ensure top quality juice recovery. They are then blended to showcase the specific aroma profile of this Cap Classique, then bottled and left for 12 months yeast contact time before disgorgement. A special selection of liquer d’expedition was added to produce this delectable sweeter style of Cap Classique.

TASTING NOTES:

For those who do not like it dry, the Graham Beck Bliss Nectar Rosé is a fine excuse for self-indulgence and frivolity. Beautiful silver pink in colour with light yeasty aromas, hints of raspberry and strawberry, a touch of honeyed praline; this delectable bubbly will stimulate your sweeter senses.
