Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block 2023 is a red blend from South Africa, predominantly featuring Syrah. This wine showcases a rich tapestry of dark fruit, earthy notes, and subtle spices. Crafted by Boekenhoutskloof, a winery known for its traditional techniques and emphasis on terroir, it reflects the complexity of its Stellenbosch roots. The Chocolate Block undergoes careful barrel maturation, resulting in a structured profile that complements various culinary pairings. Ideal for those interested in exploring South African vintages.
The 2023 The Chocolate Block, arguably the Cape's most successful brand in terms of both quantity and quality, is a mixture of 70% estate fruit (mainly from Porseleinberg) and 30% from partnership vineyards on reddish soils that have supplied fruit for 15 to 20 years. It matured for 12 to 14 months in 95% used barriques. Fruit picked after the rains was not included in the blend. The 2023 has a fresh nose with redcurrant and pomegranate fruit, earthy notes and a touch of tea leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit and fine acidity, fresh and vibrant with brown spices and black pepper toward the finish. According to the label, production totaled 4,043 barrels in this vintage—it is some achievement to produce a label of such scale at this level of quality. The Cape couldn't ask for a better ambassador.
