Graham Beck Ultra Brut Cap Classique 2016
Western Cape, South Africa
ONLINE EXCLUSIVE
LCBO#: 435453, $29.95 SHOP »»
"If the 2015 release was a blend, this is an all-Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs, showing Pierre de Klerk and Pieter Ferreira's ability to mix things up. Rich, creamy and intense, with some stone fruit flavours, nutty complexity, fresh acidity and a hint of barrel influence. Drink date: 2021-2026." Score: 93 Pts. - Tim Atkin, MS, South Africa Special Report 2021.

VINTAGES#: 413179, $51.95 SHOP »»
From a quality-focused family winery, this is big and powerful, even for an Amarone. Rich and plush-textured with luscious chocolate, licorice, prune, nutty and floral flavours. Demands a hearty meal like barbecued back ribs, rack of lamb or steak.
"Bright, rich ruby red. Beautiful bouquet of candied citrus fruits, blood orange, as well as a slight hint of dried grapefruit, cherries, roses, and undertones of raspberry syrup and wild strawberries. Compact with a superb suppleness on the palate, complex yet accessible, juicy tannins embrace the distinct fruit. A very long finish." Score: 94 Pts. - Othmar Kiem, Falstaff Magazin, February 2, 2022.
