One of the best-selling South African blends in the UK — and once you’ve tried it, you’ll understand why. The Chocolate Block is a masterclass in blending: Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsault, with a splash of Viognier to add aromatic lift. The result is a wine of real power and personality — dark fruit, warm spice and that signature note of dark chocolate that gives it its name. Full marks for the name, the presentation and, most importantly, what’s inside. A wine that punches well above its weight and pairs brilliantly with food. ABV 14%
