The Chocolate Block is a cult favouriteit usually sells out before it even hits the shop floor. Its made by Boekenhoutskloof, named South Africas Winery of the Year 2020. Their winemaker, Marc Kent, is secretive about exactly how this wine is made. He tweaks the blend 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 seriously plush and full of plum, blackberry, blueberry and cherry flavours. Smooth, supple, with fine tanninsits made to go with food. Fantastic with aromatic lamb tagine.
