Graham Beck Pinot Noir Rosé 2015

This bubbly has a beautiful salmon pink hue. Noticeable ripe blueberries and a subtle spiciness from the Pinot Noir with creamy complexity from the
Chardonnay. An explosion of raspberry fruit and slight honeysuckle flavours on the palate, with a persistent yet delicate mousse.

A pioneering first for South Africa, whereby both varietals, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, were whole bunch pressed together - this awardwinning Cap Classique proves its pedigree time and again both in local and international wine competitions. The Pinot Noir lends a berry-laden ripeness and subtle spiciness while the Chardonnay contributes creamy complexity. The delightful salmon-pink hue of the Vintage Rosé perfectly complements the sumptuous strawberry notes and rich creamy complexity on the palate.
in the vineyard : Hand-picked Pinot Noir growing in three special geographical areas in the winelands adding to the complexity of this blend. Pinot Noir from Elgin,
Durbanville and the Slanghoek Valley was whole-bunch pressed together with our Chardonnay growing on limestone-rich soils on our Robertson estate. Only the highest quality, most pure juice is considered for this Cap Classique.
about the harvest: Grapes were hand-picked
in the cellar : 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 five years of lees contact time before disgorging.
