The Wine
Boekenhoutskloof winery’s Marc Kent has helped place Swartland on the world’s wine map as a top-class producer of red blends. The Chocolate Block is a shining example. Marc tweaks the mix each vintage so no two Chocolate Blocks are the same, but each release is the very best wine for that year. The fruit is mostly from the Porseleinberg (described by Tim Atkin MW as “one of the world’s great Syrah vineyards”) and Goldmine farms. Black-fruited, peppery Syrah dominates with further richness from Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon and Viognier. Parcels are matured in French oak barrels adding spice and chocolatey notes. Delicious now but showing a youthful elegance for ageing – if you can resist! Grilled meats on the brai heaven!

"Loved it, some subtle hints of cocoa and lovely balanced gentle pepper from the Syrah. Really smooth"
