Graham Beck Cuvée Clive 2017

Vineyards

Robertson, Western Cape

Winemaking and Maturation

Each parcel is gently whole-bunch pressed, extracting only the first 400L/ton - the cuvée fraction - for this blend. Two Chardonnay portions underwent barrel fermentation in a combination of old Piece Champenoise (205L) barrels and Foudres (2000L), constituting 70% of the final blend. The third portion is fermented in stainless steel tanks. The Pinot Noir is entirely fermented in stainless steel. After ageing on the primary lees in their respective vessels for 5 months, the components were blended and bottled on 11th June 2018 for secondary fermentation in the bottle. The wine matured on the lees for 5 years before disgorgement.

Tasting Notes

Delicate white blossoms, sun-kissed lemons, and luscious white peach mingle with hints of toasted almonds, ginger, and freshly baked shortbread. Zesty citrus, succulent pears, and crisp green apple harmonise on the palate, accompanied by subtle oak accents. The vibrant, tart acidity and very soft, creamy mousse create millions of minuscule bubbles that leads to a chalky yet succulent finish. A testament to meticulous craftsmanship and unwavering commitment, enjoy now or cellar for further allure.
