Story
At Graham Beck passionately pursues the perfect bubble – a golden thread of excellence runs throughout the entire process and portfolio. Méthode Cap Classique refers to South African sparkling wines made using the traditional French Champagne method, as local wines cannot be called "Champagne" by law. This prestigious category, exclusive to South Africa, has gained recognition internationally. Graham Beck's Cap Classique wines, in particular, have won numerous awards and accolades, setting a high standard with their unique style and quality.
Tasting Notes
Pair this Cap Classique with the aria "Sempre libera" from Verdi's La Traviata. This aria, brimming with joyful exuberance and a sense of celebration, mirrors the wine's vibrant character and creamy complexity. The aria's melody aligns perfectly with the Cap Classique's fine mousse and fresh strawberry flavours. Both the aria and the wine capture a sense of festivity and elegance, making this pairing ideal for marking any special occasion with a touch of sophistication and joy.
Food Pairing
Pair this MCC with planked salmon, shellfish, foie gras, or pasta with cheese-based sauce.
Wine Makers Note
A unique first for South Africa in that the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were pressed together in the same press. Fractional recovery from the whole bunches ensured that only the best quality juice went into fermentation. After fermentation the wine was lightly fined and bottled for the secondary fermentation, after which the wine underwent four years of lees contact time before disgorging.
