Tasting Notes

Vinification Details.

All the grapes were harvested by hand, destemmed and left to cold macerate on the skins. The Malbec for 4 hours and the Sangiovese for 10 hours, in horizontal stainless steel tanks at 12 °C. After this

short maceration the grapes were pressed and fermented separately, at a cool 13-15 °C to ensure a fresh primary fruit bouquet and light pink colour.

Producer Information

Graham Beck is a giant of the South African wine scene and has led the country's thundering success since the end of Apartheid in 1994, a year that saw Nelson Mandela toast his inauguration as President with a flute of Beck's Brut NV. Fizz remains a key part of the Beck portfolio and the sparkling wines are rightly recognised as among the best in the New World. Based in Robertson, a second cellar in Franschhoek has been built to further extend the company's potential. The talented team of Pieter 'Bubbles' Ferreira and Erika Obermeyer control the winemaking at the Franschhoek and Robertson wineries.
