Graham Beck Brut – A Sparkling Star from South Africa

Crafted in the Méthode Cap Classique (South Africa’s version of the Champagne method), Graham Beck Brut is a beautifully balanced sparkler made from 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. It offers light yeasty aromas, notes of lime and crisp orchard fruit, and finishes with a rich, creamy complexity that keeps you coming back for more.

This Brut is known for its palate-cleansing freshness, making it a surprisingly perfect match for tomato-based dishes—especially when you want bubbles with substance.

“People don’t always think of sparkling wine with tomato dishes, but Graham Beck Brut is one of my favorite pairings—it lifts the acidity, highlights the sweetness in the tomato, and adds a celebratory edge to the simplest meal,” says Troy Revell, Wine Director at Fearrington.

Available in a half bottle now at Galloway’s Wine Shop—a staple bottle you’ll want to keep chilled and ready.
