Boekenhoutskloof 'The Chocolate Block' 2022/23 Jeroboam, Western Cape

The Chocolate Block has long been a cult favourite at Majestic. It’s made by Boekenhoutskloof, who were named South Africa’s ‘Winery of the Year 2020’. Their winemaker, Marc Kent, is tight-lipped about how exactly this wine is made – but that only adds to its mystique. He tweaks the blend slightly with every vintage so no two Chocolate Blocks are quite the same. But it’s always a blend of rich and ripe varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon – with a touch of Viognier for added perfume. It’s 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.
