The Chocolate Block Methuselah

The Chocolate Block Methuselah is a statement piece in every sense. Crafted by Boekenhoutskloof, one of South Africa’s most celebrated wineries, this iconic red blend is a masterful expression of the Swartland region's terroir. Presented in a grand Methuselah sized 6 litre bottle, it’s the perfect choice for collectors, wine enthusiasts, and unforgettable gatherings.

• Number 732 of 800
• Deep ruby red with a vibrant hue, showcasing its youthful energy and depth
• The nose reveals a complex bouquet of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, intertwined with subtle hints of cocoa, spice, and smoky oak. Floral notes and a touch of white pepper add elegance to the aromatic profile
• Palate is full-bodied and silky. Layers of dark fruit flavours complemented by nuances of dark chocolate, espresso, and savoury spice. The tannins are firm yet refine, providing structure, while the acidity ensures balance and freshness
• The finish is long, with lingering notes of black fruit and a touch of earthiness

A Methuselah bottle holds six litres of wine, equivalent to eight standard bottles. This large format presentation not only makes a visual impact but also enhances the ageing potential of the wine. The reduced oxygen to wine ratio allows for slower, more graceful maturation, making this an ideal option for collectors or special celebrations.
