Had this about 3 years ago. Graham Beck entering its third generation as a family winery, established in 1983 when entrepreneur Graham Beck purchased Madeba farm outside the Western Cape town of Robertson. About a 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, aromas of tropical fruits and biscuit notes, vivid crisp acidity on medium+ finish ending with yeasty notes. Nice value.

A little bit simple, and ripe, but delicious!

Outstanding traditional method sparkler out of South Africa. Just the right amount of bready with pear and citrus. Not as acidic as Champagne, but beautifully balanced.

On the fruitier side with yellow stone fruit and more in the happy, jolly character vs. austere & serious but overall very enjoyable.

В аромате лимон, клубничная вода, клубничная семечка, хлебный мякиш. Среднетелое, вкус гармоничный аромату, сладковатый, свежий и воздушный. Невысокая кислотность, легкая горчинка в послевкусии. Качественно, не сложно. 16/20

Good for the price. Not overly inspiring but it hits the spot.
