mehrere Informationen

The Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block trumps with an incredibly complex and seductive bouquet. It ensnares the nose with opulent aromas of dark berry compote, ripe plums and blackberries as well as an attractive touch of spicy liquorice, floral violets, dark cocoa and fine mint. These aromas, already sniffed by the nose, also run seamlessly through the full-bodied, hearty palate, completed and rounded off by nuances of dark cherries, red currants, black olives and smoked meat. Its fine-grained and elegant tannin is in perfect balance with the lemony acidity of the wine, giving the middle palate a remarkable complexity. Its full and generous mouthfeel finishes in a slightly smoky and stunningly long finish with hints of maraschino cherries, pimento olives and sweet tobacco.

Treatment in the cellar

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 they were blended and the blend was lightly refined and filtered before being bottled for enjoyment.
