The Chocolate Block with Bottle Stopper

This Chocolate Block wine comes with a bottle stopper, ensuring that once opened, the freshness and quality are preserved for longer. Whether you choose to enjoy it upon release or cellar it for up to five years, The Chocolate Block will continue to evolve beautifully over time.

An exceptional wine from the prestigious Boekenhoutskloof winery in South Africa, located in the beautiful Franschhoek region. Known for its bold and complex flavours, this wine has gained a cult following due to its incredible richness and limited production. Made in small quantities, The Chocolate Block is a blend that consistently exceeds expectations, boasting smooth textures and a harmonious balance of fruit and spice.

This opulent red wine is primarily Syrah-led, offering a deep and full-bodied experience. Aged for up to 18 months in old French oak barrels, it showcases a careful and intricate mix of Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a touch of Viognier to enhance its aromatic profile. Its flavours are as complex as its craftsmanship, with each vintage reflecting slight changes that keep enthusiasts coming back for more.
