Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block 2022

Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block 2022 is a full-bodied Syrah-based red wine from the Western Cape of South Africa. Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776 and is located in the beautiful Franschhoek Valley. The ever-popular Chocolate Block is a blend of mainly Syrah with small proportions of grape varieties such as Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon and Viognier. This signature red blend has become something of a modern classic that now has a cult following. "The Chocolate Block 2022 is a clever assemblage of mostly Syrah from the Goldmine and Porseleinberg vineyards with 9% Grenache, 8% Cinsault, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Viognier. Fleshy, perfumed and smooth, it has sweet goji berry and summer pudding fruit, velvety tannins, scented cinnamon oak and a fresh, lifted finish." Tim Atkin MW, 2023
