It was established in 1983 when entrepreneur Graham Beck purchased Madeba farm outside the Western Cape town of Robertson with a fervent ambition to establish a world-class winery in this region. Made at the Robertson Cellar this is one of Graham Beck Winery's most popular wines, and is a blend of 86% chardonnay and 14% colombard. Graham Beck’s Robertson cellar and farm are situated in the Breederiver Valley bordering the semi-arid Little Karoo region. The warm climate in combination with mineral and fossil rich soils gives this area a distinct character which reflect into its quality wines. Selection of Chardonnay vineyards was considered very carefully and the vines choosen have been planted on rich limestone soil. The Colombard vines were planted on alluvial soils along the Finch River. The harvest was done by hand and the grapes hand selected, the Chardonnay was picked during cool morning hours during the second week of February 2004 and the Colombard in the same way in the second week of March 2004. Both varieties were handled separately and were destalked, gently crushed and pressed immediately. The juice is settled overnight and then transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentation at 14° to 16°C. Some of the Chardonnay and Colombard were fermented with staves. After fermentation the wine was left on it's lees for 6 weeks, during this time the lees was stirred once a week to aid in the mouth feel of the final blend. No malolactic was encouraged to ensure freshness and zestiness. The wine was then racked and prepared for bottling. This blend has a wonderful fresh lime aromas mixed with tropical zestiness on the nose. Good firm acidity with lots of citrus, melon and grapefruit flavours on the palate. Delightful wine with a long finish, this wine is to be enjoyed youthful.
