Beautiful harmony between lengthy Chardonnay & fragrant Pinot Noir. The result is a sparkling wine with a fine mousse giving freshness & finesse elegant ripe fruit & light yeast aromas & a rich creamy complexity on the palate. ' Cape sparklers are improving, with Beck ahead of the pack with this stylish citric champagne lookalike; expect more ripeness of fruit & less acidity than the real thing.' Rose Murray Brown MW, The Scotsman 'I've always enjoyed Graham Beck's sparklers, made in the champagne method under the supervision of the legendary Pieter Bubbles Ferreira. This 50-50 blend of chardonnay & pinot noir from the Robertson region is about as good as it gets for a non-champagne fizz, being crisp & clean, but toasty & brioche-like too. A cracking aperitif.' Jonathan Ray, Daily Telegraph ...

Limited stock. New vintage coming soon. Ultra Brut is the quintessence of the Graham Beck style. With a viridescent hue, this Cap Classique opens up with a lively bouquet of lemon zest & brioche notes. The rich, complex palate is perfectly balanced by fresh acidity & an exceptionally refined mousse. Endowed with a deliciously creamy texture & a rewarding finish, this ultra-dry sparkling wine is ideal to drink now or in the next 5 or 8 years. Previously known as Brut Zero, this ultra-dry Cap Classique was crafted without the use of additional sugar in the dosage
- the absence thereof allows the exceptional intrinsic qualities of the wine & its terroir to shine through more clearly. Ultra Brut is pure & honest
- a true testimony of extraordinary fundamental excellence. The Graham Beck Cap Classique craftsmen always maintain that making a sparkling wine with no sugar is like walking a tightrope, there are no room for errors. This unique style of wine can only be crafted in exceptional vintages & from only the highest quality cuve juice that can sustain extended time on the lees (five to six years). It joins the ranks of very few zero dosage sparkling wines, a category gaining in popularity amongst chefs, sommeliers, fashionistas, food enthusiasts & the health conscious.

Graham's Crusted is made from a selection of very fine young Ports from two or three harvests, drawn principally from Quinta dos Malvedos, Quinta das Lages, Vila Velha & Vale de Malhadas. The wines from these different vineyards & harvests are blended together & kept in oak casks prior to being bottled without any filtration. Once bottled, the wine is matured for a further three years in the Graham's cellars before release for sale. Therefore, by the time Graham's Crusted reaches the consumer, it will have gained the superb elegance & style that only time in bottle can give to a great Port. The date on the label is the date of bottling, not the harvest date, because Crusted Port is a blend of excellent wines from two or three very good harvests Graham's is one of the very few Port companies to still make these very fine Ports.
