Graham Beck bubbles for Valentine's Day
9th 2007 February 2007

'Brut for buddies, Rosé for passion and the Blanc de Blancs for serious love'
Pieter Ferreira, Graham Beck Cellarmaster





With Valentine's Day approaching, there are bound to be flutters in every heart as we draw closer to that time of the year when even the most macho of men are allowed a momentary lapse from 'macho-ness' to demonstrate their emotions without their usual pretensions. It is a day where one is afforded the privilege of reminiscing, celebrating or fantasizing about the age-old topic of 'luuurve'.

Love, I am sure, is as old as the mountains. In ancient times, the phenomenon of love so fascinated people that gods came to symbolize this enigma. In Greek mythology, for instance, Eros (coupled with his counterpart Aphrodite) personified the god of love, lust and sensuality. The Roman equivalent was Cupid, the mischievous cherub of 'amor', recklessly shooting his desire-infused arrows into unsuspecting hearts and wreaking endless havoc. His female partner was Venus, the goddess of love and beauty.

This Valentine's Day, we invite you to search the inner depths of your soul and pay a tribute to this alluring mystery we call 'love'... And what better way to ignite one's passion for love than to pour out the poetry of Graham Beck's Cap Classique range?

Each bubbly has its own unique love story to tell. To borrow from the ancient classical cultures and philosophies, Graham Beck Wines takes pleasure in introducing you to their own bubbly 'gods', which typify the different types of love (denoted by Greek philosophy):

Philia - Graham Beck Brut NV: the friendly one; includes loyalty to friends and represents virtue and equality; very adaptable, for any occasion begging a bit of desire and lots of enjoyment and fun.

Eros - Graham Beck Brut Rosé 2005: the passionate one endowed with sensuality and longing desire; for the archetypal romantic lover, sparking off intensity, pleasure and excitement.


Agapé - Graham Beck Blanc de Blancs 2002: the unconditionally loving one who is unchanging; for the serious lover; a serious wine, like serious love.

These bubblies all express themselves in a world of sensations and a wealth of feelings. So whether one is in the mood for Philia, Eros or Agapé, each story has a picture to paint on the canvas of our minds and hearts, flooding our memories and 'disgorging' our senses for a renewed sense of love!
