Our Story

When our founder Graham Beck began his journey crafting South Africa’s premier sparkling wine known as Cap Classique, his goal was simple: to introduce a premium bubbly that’s always worthy of the moment.

Sparkling wine is the perfect drink to enhance any moment and not just for celebrations. Yet, what is designed to delight can sometimes cause unnecessary stress. Between too many choices, high prices, and labels that are hard to understand, it can be hard to know where to even start.

At the helm of the Graham Beck cellar is Cellarmaster Pierre de Klerk, whose precision, curiosity and quiet dedication guide every wine we make. Since joining the House in 2010, Pierre spent 15 years working alongside founding Cellarmaster Pieter “Bubbles” Ferreira, gaining an intimate understanding of the exacting standards that have defined Graham Beck Cap Classique since 1991. Appointed Cellarmaster in 2022, Pierre now leads the cellar into its next chapter, carrying forward an enduring pursuit of the perfect bubble.
