Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block 2023 South Africa Wine 75cl
£24.75
In stock
Boekenhoutskloof’s The Chocolate Block is one of the most popular wines coming from South Africa. A blend of Syrah, Grenache Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Viognier. This vintage is unique in the sense that all the grapes for their blend are now grown in the Swartland, hence its wine of origin certification. Grenache Noir always softens a masculine blend, adding to the flavour profile and not necessarily enhancing the structure as such. With enough structure from the Syrah, a bit more of Grenache has been added than previous years. The Grenache was matured in 600L barrels to retain its unmistakable fruity aromas and vibrancy.

The bouquet is intense and indulgent, overflowing with an abundance of black and blueberry fruit, ripe brambles and subtler tones of perfume, black olives and dust. Aromas of coriander seed and white pepper contribute to the complexity. Bright dark berry aromas continue onto the juicy, plentiful palate with flavours of red liquorice and fresh cherry flavours. The wine culminates in a dry, pure finish, with lingering hints of exotic spice and cherry tobacco flavours.
