Boekenhoutskloof
Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776. Located in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley the farm’s name means “ravine of the Boekenhout” (pronounced Book-n-Howed). Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree greatly prized for furniture making. In 1993 the farm and homestead was bought and restored and a new vineyard planting programme was established that now includes Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Grenache Semillon and Viognier.
Description
The 2022 vintage of The Chocolate Block presents a medium- to full-bodied profile with a complex array of aromas and flavors. The nose reveals notes of blackberries, dried lavender, espresso, and iron. On the palate, it offers flavors of tart cherry, mineral dust, citrus blossoms, and cherry skins, complemented by hints of herbs and peppercorns. The wine concludes with a long, creamy finish, accented by spice box and sweet smoke nuances.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs well with rich, meaty dishes such as slow-braised beef, game meats, and lamb. Its complex flavor profile also complements dishes featuring earthy spices and roasted vegetables.
