Time to sparkle

The festive season is in full swing, which means it’s the perfect time to enjoy a few glasses of bubbly with friends and family! Famous French Champagnes such as Moët & Chandon, Krug orVeuve Clicquot are all exceptional, but there are also a host of fantastic local sparkling wines. TheSimonsig Kaapse Vonkel is excellent value, while the Cuvée Royale is deliciously sophisticated and dry. Graham Beck also produces superb Methode Cap Classique wines, such as the Brut NV and the Blanc de Blancs Vintage.
