The Story
Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block Magnum
The quest to understand the name of this wine and the wine itself is now the stuff of legend. While we are not about to reveal all, we can say that the style of the wine is a reflection of our belief that the Cape, with its Mediterranean climate, is eminently suited to blended reds.
The make-up of this wine is tweaked from vintage to vintage to best reflect the season and the ancient vines of great character that are an integral part of the wine’s charm and personality.
Style: The wine is medium to full-bodied, with a broad, weighty midpalate, yet the mouthfeel is smooth, gentle. Lively acidity and svelte, velvety tannins are balanced and add to the elegance, focus and energy of the wine. A Rhône Style Blend Red wine
Grape varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Viognier.
Tasting notes: rich, blackberry, blueberry, cherry, tobacco and exotic spice.
Pairing suggestion: pairs well with roast beef, rich tomato pastas and game.
