Tasting Notes


The 2022 vintage of Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block from the renowned Franschhoek region in South Africa is a true masterpiece. This full-bodied red blend is a deep, rich ruby color, with aromas of dark chocolate, blackberry, and subtle oak. On the palate, layers of black cherry, plum, and espresso are complemented by hints of spice and a velvety smoothness. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and balance to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a decadent chocolate and black fruit aftertaste. This wine is a perfect representation of the quality and expertise of Boekenhoutskloof, showcasing the unique terroir of South Africa. Enjoy now or cellar for several years to come to fully appreciate its complexity and depth. Pair with a hearty beef stew or a charcuterie board for a truly indulgent experience.
