About this Item

Cuvée Clive, 2003
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Graham Beck, founded in 1983 and situated in the Breede River Valley, is one of South Africa's leading estates. Pieter Ferreira, who's affectionately known as Bubbles (because of his passion for Méthode Cap Classique and Champagne), has been the driving force at Graham Beck since 1990. They were one of the first farms to be awarded WWF Conservation Champion Status and have undertaken a number of environmental and philanthropic initiatives.

Maiden vintage Cuvée Clive Cap Classique, crafted to honour the legacy of Graham Beck’s late son, Clive.

Winery notes: The Graham Beck Cuvée Clive represents the very apex of our artistic inspiration and creative endeavours in the pursuit of the perfect bubble. This extraordinary bubbly showcases the deftness of our craft, the depth of our passion and the commitment we have towards continuously raising the bar in terms of outstanding quality. Elegance, finesse and complexity are hallmarks of a truly distinguished prestige cuvée – Cuvée Clive is all this and much more. A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this Brut is produced only in exceptional vintages and in extremely limited quantities.

Critics Ratings

‘Forward, with modest apple, pear and brioche notes leading to a slightly coarse edge on the finish. This doesn't seem to have developed any extra complexity with the additional aging. Drink now.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator (Apr 2012)

‘A distinct note of honeycomb marries harmoniously with the pear and hard nectarine aromas. A nice creaminess fills the mouth, with green apple and citrus flavors, which finish on an appropriately toasty yet mouthwatering note. This already shows nice development; drink now.' – Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast (Nov 2012)
