Information about "Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block Magnum 2023"

The Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block Magnum 2023 enchants with an incredibly complex and alluring bouquet. The nose reveals a rich array of black blueberries and ripe blackberries interwoven with notes of black olives, perfume, and dust. Hints of white pepper and coriander add delightful complexity. These deep fruit aromas give way to a juicy, full-bodied palate highlighted by classic red licorice and vibrant cherries. With a medium to full bodied structure, the wine possesses a broad, substantial mid-palate, while the mouthfeel is velvety and gentle. Lively acidity and refined tannins create a harmonious balance, enhancing the wine's elegance, focus, and dynamism. Whispers of cherry tobacco and exotic spices linger in a pure, dry finish.

Treatment in the cellar

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.
