"One of the best-ever releases of Cuvée Clive, the 2018 wouldn't look out of place in a lineup of prestige bubblies from Champagne. World class." - Tim Atkin, Master of Wine

Graham Beck is overjoyed to announce that our 2018 Cuvée Clive has made history in Tim Atkin's 2024 South Africa Special Report by clinching the 'Sparkling Wine of the Year' title for the sixth time with a rating of 97 points.

Crafted only in standout vintages, its complexity encapsulates our unwavering pursuit of the perfect bubble. The 2018 vintage, a blend of 95% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Noir, showcases the unique terroir of our limestone-rich Robertson estate and the granite slopes of Napier.

This remarkable achievement isn't just a win for Graham Beck – it's a resounding endorsement of Cap Classique as a world-class sparkling wine category. Crafted only in standout vintages, Cuvée Clive embodies our unwavering pursuit of the perfect bubble and we're honoured by this recognition.
