Graham Beck Ultra Brut is an exceptional South African sparkling wine crafted from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. This elegant wine is fermented in the bottle and aged on its lees for a minimum of 36 months, creating a delicate and complex flavor profile with notes of green apple, lemon zest, toasted almonds and brioche. The wine has a fine and persistent perlage, with a pale yellow color and a subtle aroma of white flowers. Graham Beck Ultra Brut is a perfect choice for all types of celebrations and special occasions, and its crisp acidity and dry finish make it an excellent pairing with seafood, salads and light meals.

Tasting Notes

Previously known as Brut Zero, this ultra-dry Cap Classique was crafted without the use of additional sugar in the dosage - the absence thereof allows the exceptional intrinsic qualities of the wine and its terroir to shine through more clearly. Ultra Brut is pure and honest – a true testimony of extraordinary fundamental excellence.

Ultra Brut is the quintessence of the Graham Beck style. With a viridescent hue, this Cap Classique opens up with a lively bouquet of lemon zest and brioche notes. The rich, complex palate is perfectly balanced by fresh acidity and an exceptionally refined mousse - a benchmark of the 2016 vintage. Endowed with a deliciously creamy texture and a rewarding finish, this ultra-dry Brut is ideal to drink now or in the next 5 or 8 years.
