Aromas of raspberries, cherries and a few secondary whiffs of minerality. A lively mousse but fine in the mouth, with subtle red berry flavours enlivened by bright acids. Brisk on the palate, showing hints of oyster shell and fresh lavender. Flirtatious and fun, yet elegant and structured, it’s perfect for all seasons and settings." 55% Chardonnay & 45% Pinot Noir grapes.  NV GRAHAM BECK, BRUT, CAPE CLASSIQUE, WESTERN CAPE $17.99 You will be pleasantly surprised at just how good this sparkling wine is for the price. Although it's not real Champagne from France, it most certainly has many of the same qualities and leans in that direction with its smaller persistent bubbles and yeasty qualities. Wonderful delicate aromas of raspberries with flavors of red cherry and melon. Highly recommended. 54% Pinot Noir & 46% Chardonnay grapes SIGN UP FOR OUR MAILING LIST!
