The Chocolate Block is a cult wine from venerable South African producer for which demand always outstrips supply. Big, bold and powerful, this is a rich, smooth and complex red that lives up to its name.
From the beautiful South African region of Franschhoek, the Boekenhoutskloof winery produces limited quantities of this famous Chocolate Block wine.
- Chocolate Block’s big, bold style is Syrah led
- Shows a beautiful full bodied richness with flavours of blackberry, leather, spice and a hint of chocolate
- A complex, intricate and exciting blend of Syrah, Cinsault, and with just a hint of viognier
- The wine is an opulent style with super-fine tannins and a luscious palate giving out distinctly chocolately notes
The Chocolate Block jeroboam is ready to drink, although will benefit from some ageing also. Drink it on release, or cellar it for up to five years.
In the Jeroboam format, The Chocolate Block benefits from the large volume of wine and reduced oxygen exposure per volume of liquid, which generally allows for slower ageing. This helps the flavours evolve beautifully over time. Making the Jeroboam format ideal for those who wish to cellar the wine and experience its development over the years.
This format allows the wine to maintain its vibrancy and complexity even as it softens and matures, showcasing new nuances with age.
