Description
The Chocolate Block 750ML is a blend of red wines, with 73% Syrah, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Grenache Noir, 4% Cinsault, and 1% Viognier. The wine has a raspberry, allspice, and grapefruit-cool-climate-Syrah typicity, with dark fruit and floral incense. The wine is structurally more intense than recent vintages, with the Porseleinberg Syrah starting to make an impact. The Viognier adds subtle hi-tone nuances to the aromatic profile and some textural qualities. The wine has a bitter dark chocolate on the palate with cold soaked game, black fruit, hints of smoky minerality and oak spice. The wine has a pure, focussed, textured and penetrating palate.
The style of the wine is a reflection of the belief that the Cape, with its Mediterranean climate, is eminently suited to blended reds. The make-up of this wine is tweaked from vintage to best reflect the season and the ancient vines of great character that are an integral of the wine's charm and personality.
