Information about "Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block Magnum 2022"
The Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block is not only a wonderful drop for all chocolate lovers ;-)) It is a dreamlike cuvée in which each of its 5 grape varieties contributes in its own special way. A true explosion of red and dark berry fruits, floral notes of violets and intense aromas of white pepper delight the senses. Dark fruit conquers the structurally incredibly opulent palate paired with notes of cardamom, cumin, cloves and black pepper. On the middle palate, this first-class cuvée presents itself opulent and well textured with finely integrated acidity, powdery cocoa tannins and pronounced cedar wood hints, which derive from the French oak spice. White pepper aromas masterfully accompany the long finish

Der gesamte Cabernet Sauvignon reifte in erstbelegten Fässern aus französischer Eiche (Neuholz), während die anderen Sorten separat in zweit- sowie drittbefüllten französischen Barriques reifen durften. Verschiedene Fässer und Grössen, von 2500 Liter foudres für Cinsault und Syrah und 600 Liter demi-muids für den Grenache Noir. Alle Weine verbrachten eine Gesamtzeit von 13 - 16 Monaten in Barriques, bevor sie verschnitten wurden und der Blend leicht verfeinert und filtriert zum Genuss auf die Flasche gefüllt wurde.
