The Chocolate Block has reached cult status and is a firm favourite at Cellar Drinks Co.
It is made by Boekenhoutskloof, a South African producer that was recently named South Africa’s ‘Winery of the Year 2020’.
A blend of rich and ripe Mediterranean varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon – with a touch of Viognier for added perfume. It’s seriously plush, packed with dark berry fruit. Think plums, blackberries, blueberries and cherries.
An opulent style with super-fine tannins and a luscious palate named for its distinctly chocolatey notes. Made in very limited quantities.
Strength: 14.5% ABV
