The Chocolate Block 2024
R 306.00
The Chocolate Block is one of South Africa's most successful reds, and deservedly so. Produced in substantial volumes of one million bottles for a wine at R300, it's a stylish cuvée of Syrah, 11% Grenache, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cinsault and 1% Viognier, all of it sourced from the Swartland. Spicy, perfumed and sweetly wooded in 6% new wood, it has succulent strawberry, raspberry and ginger flavours, fine tannins and well-integrated oak.
