Description
The Chocolate Block is one of Swartland’s iconic wines, made by Boekenhoutskloof from a carefully selected set of old-vine parcels. It is a blend dominated by Syrah, complemented by Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and small proportions of Viognier depending on the vintage. It shows intense aromas of black fruit, ripe plum, sweet spices and light earthy notes. On the palate it is broad and silky, with polished tannins, balanced freshness and a persistent finish that combines power and elegance. A complex red that reflects the modern identity of South African wine.
