It saddens me to announce South African wine producer Graham Beck died July 27 at age 80.
According to Mail & Guardian Online:
“Beck’s involvement with South African wine began with his purchase of the Madeba farm in Robertson, a property he developed into a world-class producer of méthode cap classique.”
The winery wil continue to operate, as per Beck’s wishes. “It’s business as usual, that was his wish,” said Etienne Heyns, marketing manager of Graham Beck Wines.
This past Saturday I enjoyed every last drop of Beck’s brut rosé - never once thinking I would never have the chance to share a glass of it with him.
