Big, bold, and unapologetically indulgent, the 2023 Chocolate Block is a wine that commands attention and delivers on every promise. A daring blend that’s as iconic as it is irresistible.

The magic of the Chocolate Block lies in its artistry. Sourcing fruit from Swartland’s ancient vines and Franschhoek’s cooler sites, the winemaking team meticulously balances intensity with finesse. Each grape variety - Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Viognier - is vinified separately to preserve its character. A careful maturation in French oak and concrete tanks rounds out the wine, adding complexity without overshadowing its vibrant fruit core.

Pairing Suggestions: Perfect with spiced lamb kofta, venison stew, smoky aubergine dip, or rich dark chocolate desserts.

Tasting Note: A symphony of flavours, from luscious blackberries and ripe cherries to mocha, black pepper, and a whisper of violet. Silky and sumptuous, with a long, satisfying finish.

Origin: Franschhoek, Western Cape, South Africa

Alcohol: 14.5%
