mehrere Informationen

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 More information about this producer > Learn more here... This text has been automatically translated.

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 16 months in barriques before being blended and the blend was lightly refined and filtered before bottling.
