From Boekenhoutskloof, The Chocolate Block 2023 is a bold, vegan-friendly red blend centered on Syrah, sourced from the esteemed Goldmine and Porseleinberg vineyards. Complemented by 9% Grenache, 8% Cinsault, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Viognier, it delivers an enticing aromatic profile of ripe red berries, dark cherry, and rich cocoa, framed by a touch of cinnamon spice. Silky tannins provide a luxurious texture, making it a compelling choice to enjoy through 2032, especially alongside braised short ribs or grilled portobello mushrooms.
Food pairings: steaks and burgers from the grill, roast chicken, veal chops from the grill.
Rated 93/100 Natalie Maclean
This is wonderfully fragrant, with attractive notes of olive, mulberry and peppercorn. It’s juicy, medium- to full-bodied and very bright, with fine-grained tannins and a lively finish. 74% syrah, 11% grenache, 8% cabernet sauvignon, 6% cinsault and 1% viognier. Delicious already. Drink now.
