The Boekenhoutskloof Chocolate Block is a blend of predominantly Syrah (Shiraz) and smaller proportions of Grenache Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Viognier. Marc Kent, winemaker from Boekenhoutskloof in South Africa, created a wine with rich aromas of black cherries, cardamom, sweet tobacco, espresso and a hint of perfume with his "Chocolate Block". The dark fruit character is complemented by gentle nuances of ripe plums, violets, black olives, cloves and licorice. This is complemented by finely integrated cocoa-powdered tannins. On the palate, it offers a very good structure, refreshing acidity and a smoky minerality. John Platter awarded this noble and full-bodied wine 4.5 stars.

The dry red wine matured for 16 months in French oak barrels. It is ideal with pasta and pizza, dark meat (roasted or grilled), smoked meats or medium-strength cheese or hard cheese.

Info about the winery

Boekenhoutskloof

Das Weingut Boekenhoutskloof und die Landschaft wirken französisch. Es liegt in Franschhoek und ist eines der ältesten Weingüter mit hugenottischen Wurzeln. Auch die Weine erinnern an Frankreich, weil der Winzer Marc Kent einmal pro Jahr Frankreich besucht, um sich neu inspirieren zu lassen.

Auf 20 ha Rebfläche werden zu 25% Weißwein (Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon) und zu 75% Rotweine (Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc) angebaut. Die Temperatur ist im Jahresdurchschnitt durch den Seewind aus Südosten etwas kühler. Die Art der Böden auf dem Gut sind unterschiedlich: von tiefen Schwemmböden am Ufer des Flusses bis zu harten Lehmböden und verwittertem Granit.

Product recommendation

Montes Folly

Montes Folly - the famous single-varietal Shiraz (Syrah) from Viña Montes - is also an outstanding example of Chilean winemaking in the 2020 vintage. The wine has a deep, ruby red color. On the nose, the wine is intense and elegant at the same time. Notes of blackcurrants, blueberries and toast aromas come into their own. There are also nuances of chocolate.On the palate, the Shiraz offers exceptional complexity and structure. Aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, mocha, espresso and fine spice are wonderfully underpinned by velvety, powerful tannins. The long-lasting and harmonious finish is wonderfully invigorating thanks to its fresh acidity.Enjoy this exceptional red wine from Chile with red meat, lamb or game dishes. Decant the Montes Folly at least one hour before drinking. The wine is already a taste sensation that will continue to grow over the next 20 years.
