Merchant's description

Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block 2024 is a red blend from the Franschhoek region of South Africa. This vintage is a combination of Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon and Viognier, sourced from selected vineyard parcels in the Swartland and Franschhoek regions. This wine is known for its opulent and spicy profile, featuring notes of dark berries, cracked black pepper and a hint of cocoa. Maturation in French oak has added a smooth texture and integrated tannins to the blend. It remains one of the most recognised premium red wines from South Africa.
