Product information "Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block Doppelmagnum 2023"
The Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block promises a real explosion of red and black berry fruit, violets and intense aromas of white pepper on the nose. On the palate it is clear, sharply defined, well textured and well penetrating with deep, dark fruit aromas complemented by heavy spice notes of cardamom, cumin, cloves and black pepper. Structurally immensely intense, whereby the Shiraz grapes from the Porseleinberg with their refreshing acidity are clearly noticeable. The significantly lower proportion of Viognier complements this first-class cuvée with subtle and subtle nuances, which give the aromatic profile and textural characteristics of the wine a fine touch. On the middle palate, there are tart notes of powdery dark chocolate combined with black fruit, a hint of smoky minerality and hints of cedar wood and seductive oak spice. In the soft, long finish, white pepper notes can still be detected.

The entire Cabernet Sauvignon matured in first-stocked French oak barrels (new wood), while the other varieties were allowed to mature separately in second and third stocked French barriques. All wines spent a total of 12 months in barriques before being blended and the blend was slightly refined and filtered before being bottled for enjoyment.
