Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Buy by the case. Superb value. Traditional method bubbly from South African Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Dry, crisp, balanced with mouthwatering acidity. Big toasted croissant aromatics complement the green apple and a hint of lime zest. Pairs well with smoked salmon or almost anything. Tasted a bottle which was disgorged July 2016 , in December 2017. 90 points.

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Floral with zesty orange peel and apricot scone aromas. The palate is crisp , clean and refreshing with long lasting fine tickling bubbles. Fresh! Tasted Mar 2017 - @sommsosa | bespoketastinsg.ca

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A lovely sparkling wine from western Cape W O, South Africa, blended from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Delicate apple, lemon zest nose, with apple, lemon zest and croissant on palate. Great fizz.
Tasted Feb. 2017

Neil Phillips rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Aromas of lemon peel, light toast, golden delicious apple, apricot, honeysuckle, nougat, roasted nuts.

On the palate, citrus notes of lemon-lime, apple, nougat and a creamy finish.

Excellent value for a traditionally-made sparkler. Blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Tasted December 2016.

Graham Beck Brut is a non-vintage Pinot Noir, Chardonnay bubble made in the traditional method from the Western Cape wine region. The nose is fresh with ripe golden apple, stone fruit, lemon zest, nougat and roasted hazelnuts. Great value here under $20. - Community Wine Reviews
