Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block 2024 is a red blend from the Franschhoek region of South Africa. This vintage is a combination of Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon and Viognier, sourced from selected vineyard parcels in the Swartland and Franschhoek regions. This wine is known for its opulent and spicy profile, featuring notes of dark berries, cracked black pepper and a hint of cocoa. Maturation in French oak has added a smooth texture and integrated tannins to the blend. It remains one of the most recognised premium red wines from South Africa.

The 2024 The Chocolate Block, the popular brand that serves as many people's introduction to South African wine, is based around 73% Syrah this year, whole berry ferment with most of the fruit aged in older 225-litre French barriques. It has a fragrant nose with more red fruit this year, quite floral in style with touches of wilted rose petals filtering through the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with powdery tannins, touches of sage and thyme infusing the red fruit, a little meaty in style towards the finish. An open and expressive Chocolate Block to drink over the next five or six years. Neal Martin2nd October 2025
