Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block 2021

The Chocolate Block is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsaault. Made by Boekenhoutskloof, recently named South Africa’s ‘Winery of the Year". The nose is dark and brooding and entices with its black fruit aromas and hints of pepper and spice. The blueberry and blackberry of the nose follow through onto a layered, full palate with flavours of dark plums and notes of dust, graphite and cocoa nib. The wine is focused and elegant, with fresh yet integrated acidity and fine-grained tannins, adding to exceptional structure. Black currant and milk chocolate linger on a silky finish.
