Supple and energetic, Boekenhoutskloof’s The Chocolate Block 2022 layers vivid red and black fruits with hints of violet, subtle herbs and a gentle savory edge. The Syrah-led blend feels medium to full in body yet beautifully poised, with fine powdery tannins and a fresh, lingering finish that keeps the spice and fruit in elegant tension.

The Chocolate Block by Boekenhoutskloof is a modern South African red blend, dominated by Syrah with Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Viognier, sourced largely from Swartland sites like Porseleinberg and Goldmine. Known for its ripe dark berry and plum fruit layered with savory notes (spice, cured meat, olives) and cocoa-powdery tannins, it is crafted as an accessible yet structured, restaurant‑friendly wine that showcases the region’s warm, schist- and granite-influenced terroir.
