What Sits Behind Recognition • Recognition is one moment. What leads to it happens over months and years. It begins with decisions made in the vineyard and continues through blending, maturation and repeated tasting in the cellar. Each stage asks something of the team - what to select, what to refine, what needs more time and when an expression is ready. These decisions rarely make the headline. Together, they shape the standard against which we continue to measure our work. Because at Graham Beck, recognition is not where the pursuit ends. It is one measure of how far the work has come - and where we go next. #GrahamBeck #CapClassique #CelebrateWhatMatters #Winemaking #Robertson

Veritas • Latin for truth. At the 2026 Veritas Awards, Cuvée Clive 2019 and Blanc de Blancs 2020 each earned 93 points and Double Gold. Extended lees ageing of five years or more shaped both wines - time given with purpose, building depth, complexity and fine texture. Each vintage is another turn in a continuing pursuit: learning, refining and moving ever closer to the perfect bubble. A recognition of the collective craft, precision and patience that continue to shape the work of Cellarmaster Pierre de Klerk and our winemaking team. #GrahamBeck #CapClassique #VeritasAwards #CelebrateWhatMatters

Signature Expressions • The Classic Collection. Brut, Brut Rosé and Bliss Nectar each bring something different to the table, but all three are unmistakably Graham Beck. From the bright precision of Brut to the fruit-forward character of Brut Rosé and the richer expression of Bliss Nectar, the Classic Collection reflects the balance, detail and House style that have shaped our Cap Classique since our first vintage in 1991. Distinct in character. United by craft. Made for the moments worth celebrating. #GrahamBeck #CapClassique #CapClassiqueMonth #CelebrateWhatMatters

A Collector's Chapter • The English Sparkling 2018 As the first sparkling wine crafted by Graham Beck outside South Africa, the English Sparkling 2018 represents a landmark moment for our cellar. Sourced from Hampshire and West Sussex chalk soils and aged with care, it carries remarkable poise, clarity and depth. Crafted in strictly limited quantities, it is a bottle made for the cellar – carrying both collector appeal and the full legacy of our traditional method craft. #GrahamBeck #EnglishSparkling #Vintage2018 #FineWine #ThoughtfulGifting

Two Terroirs, One Pursuit • English Sparkling 2018 Sourced from the chalk soils of Hampshire and West Sussex, our English Sparkling 2018 brings together Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. A precise, energetic mousse carries vibrant notes of white grapefruit, yellow pear and toasted brioche, grounded by a crisp line of natural acidity. It is the seamless meeting of British terroir and South African cellar expertise – two origins united by the same dedication to excellence. #GrahamBeck #EnglishSparkling #Vintage2018 #Chardonnay #PinotNoir

Expanding Our Horizons • The English Sparkling Chapter A historic milestone for our House, as we present the first sparkling wine crafted by Graham Beck outside South Africa. Sourced from the chalk soils of Hampshire and West Sussex, this release brings decades of traditional method mastery to UK soil. The same dedication to excellence. A new terroir. #GrahamBeck #EnglishSparkling #CapClassique #Winemaking

From the Same Soil • The Graham Beck Cap Classique Story The vineyard that gave us our first Blanc de Blancs is being replanted - original vines making way for a new generation, while the Robertson soil that has always defined our wines remains exactly where it belongs. It is a fitting image for where the House stands today. Pierre de Klerk and Lizemari Geldenhuys build on over three decades of craft while asking what Graham Beck can become next. New vines. The same soil. The same pursuit of the perfect bubble. #GrahamBeck #CapClassique #CelebrateWhatMatters #CapClassiqueMonth

Something Worth Raising Is Coming • Before the whistle. Before the pour. Before the room fills. There is anticipation. The officially licensed Springboks Brut. Coming soon. Graham Beck | Celebrate What Matters. Official Licensed Product | Produced under licence by Graham Beck. #GrahamBeck #CelebrateWhatMatters #SpringboksBrut #CapClassique

The Apex of the Pursuit • The Graham Beck Cap Classique Story If Cap Classique Month has a crescendo, this is it. Cuvée Clive is the crown jewel of our Icon Collection - an eight-time 'Cap Classique of the Year' winner, crafted only in exceptional vintages and named in honour of Graham Beck's son. Experience, refinement and ambition find their fullest expression here. #GrahamBeck #CapClassique #CelebrateWhatMatters #CapClassiqueMonth

The Craft Carries Forward • The Graham Beck Cap Classique Story A House is only ever as enduring as the knowledge it passes on. Pierre de Klerk spent 16 harvests alongside Pieter Ferreira - a partnership shaped by shared seasons and the kind of understanding only time in the cellar can bring. "You've put your life and soul into bubbles," Pieter once told him, "and bubbles into your blood." Today, Pierre leads the cellar alongside Winemaker Lizemari Geldenhuys, carrying that craft forward with fresh questions and new ideas. As Pieter reflects: "I can walk away with a happy heart. I know the brand is in good hands." The people change. The pursuit of the perfect bubble does not. #GrahamBeck #CapClassique #PursuitOfThePerfectbubble #CapClassiqueMonth

A Singular Pursuit • The Graham Beck Cap Classique Story. Many producers diversify. Graham Beck did the opposite. As the House's understanding of its vineyards deepened, so did its conviction. The decision was made to focus entirely on Cap Classique - a rare commitment to a single craft that gave the team freedom to refine, innovate and master one style above all others.  #GrahamBeck #CapClassique #PursuitOfThePerfectBubble #CapClassiqueMonth

Precision in Motion • Riddling is a precise part of the traditional method, gradually guiding the lees sediment towards the neck of the bottle in preparation for disgorgement. Through a carefully controlled sequence of turning and tilting, each bottle moves closer to clarity while preserving the character developed during its time on the lees. A specialist technique, and one more considered step in the making of our Cap Classique. #GrahamBeck #CapClassiqueMonth#InPursuitOfThePerfectBubble

A Fascination With Bubbles • The Graham Beck Cap Classique Story. In early 1990, as Graham Beck prepared to turn its Cap Classique ambitions into reality, a young and ambitious winemaker arrived in Robertson. Pieter Ferreira came already captivated - a fascination with sparkling wine first sparked under Achim von Arnim, and one that would come to define his craft. At Graham Beck, that fascination found its purpose. "Bubbles got into my blood," he would later say, "and that journey continues today." #GrahamBeck #CapClassique #CelebrateWhatMatters #CapClassiqueMonth

The First Green • Bud burst has arrived a little earlier in Robertson this year, with the first green shoots beginning to emerge across the vineyards. Among them is a first for the Graham Beck Estate: our newly planted Pinot Blanc, now beginning its first growing season in Robertson. It is one of the earliest markers of the vineyard cycle, as dormant buds open and the vines return to active growth. Every season moves at its own pace, and this one has started early, keeping our vineyard team close to the vines as a new chapter begins to take shape. #GrahamBeck #CapClassiqueMonth #InPursuitOfThePerfectBubble

Full Circle • The Graham Beck Cap Classique Story. On Cap Classique Day, we honour the vision that set our story in motion. More than four decades ago, Graham Beck recognised the extraordinary potential of Robertson’s limestone-rich soils. His ambition was bold: to create a Cap Classique that could stand alongside the world’s greatest sparkling wines. Founding Cellarmaster Pieter Ferreira helped bring that vision to life, marking the start of a remarkable journey - one that would shape the House’s legacy and help define Cap Classique itself.   What followed was a singular pursuit of excellence, expressed through decades of craftsmanship, curiosity and an enduring devotion to the art of traditional bottle-fermented sparkling wine.   This Cap Classique Month, we invite you to discover the story behind the bubbles - and the vision that brought it full circle.   Watch the full film via the link in our bio.   #GrahamBeck #CapClassique #CelebrateWhatMatters #CapClassiqueDay #CapClassiqueMonth

At the Pinnacle, Eight Times Over • Cuvée Clive has been named Sparkling Wine of the Year for an unprecedented eighth time, earning 97 points in Tim Atkin MW’s 2026 South Africa Special Report - one of the wine world’s most respected annual assessments. Five further Graham Beck Cap Classiques scored 94 points or higher across our Vintage and Artisan Collections this year - a reflection of the precision and craftsmanship that define the House. A remarkable milestone for our flagship cuvée, and further proof of the standard we hold every bottle to. #GrahamBeck#InPursuitOfThePerfectBubble #TimAtkinMW #CuvéeClive #CelebrateWhatMatters

The Art of Comparison • The best way to understand two Cap Classiques is to taste them side by side. Serve both wines in the same glassware, at the same temperature, with equal pours. Compare the aroma, the mousse, the texture and the finish, then revisit each glass after a few minutes. What do you notice first when comparing the two?  #GrahamBeck #CapClassique #CelebrateWhatMatters #WineTasting #Sommelier #WineEducation
