Boekenhoutskloof

The Chocolate Block has long been a cult favourite at Majestic. Its made by Boekenhoutskloof, who were named South AfricasWinery of the Year 2020. Their winemaker, Marc Kent, is tight-lipped about how exactly this wine is madebut that only adds to its mystique. He tweaks the blend slightly with every vintage so no two Chocolate Blocks are quite the same. But its always a blend of rich and ripe varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignonwith a touch of Viognier for added perfume. Its plush, packed with plums, blackberries, blueberries and cherries, smooth and supple. Its fine tannins make it a great match with Moroccan lamb tagine. And now, it's available in a seriously impressive jeroboam.
