The Chocolate Block 2023

  • Syrah/Grenache/Cinsault/Cabernet Sauvignon/Viognier
  • South Africa Swartland

We first started selling The Chocolate Block when we opened the doors of The Whalley Wine Shop in 2010. We have sold it every year since and its always been incredibly popular. Made by esteemed wine producers, Boekenhoutskloof, named South Africa’s Winery of the Year 2020.

Boysenberry and dark cherry dominate an inviting nose, with gentle scents of violets and rose petals and intriguing whiffs of exotic spice. The brambly black and red fruits of the nose follow through with flavours of ripe plums, black currant, dried cranberries and blueberries. Slight hints of cured meat and espresso add complexity to the round, silky mid-palate. The mouth-coating texture of dark milk chocolate is balanced with fine, powdery tannins and fresh yet integrated acidity. The wine is medium-bodied, lithe, and elegant with licorice and subtle hints of crushed coriander and black cardamom lingering on a smooth, soft finish.
