The Chocolate Block Tinto

Description

This Chocolate Block is a bold statement from the Swartland – a wine that truly digs deep into the land, boasting a remarkable concentration. Sourced from vines rooted in the region’s dry soils, the Syrah and Garnacha capture the essence of this terroir, while the Cabernet Sauvignon lends a touch of elegance reminiscent of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. The nose reveals intense dark fruit aromas, intertwined with hints of pepper and spice, culminating in a rich and complex palate where dark plum and cocoa powder create a captivating dance of flavours. Its well-integrated acidity and refined tannins deliver a truly exceptional balance. Awarded 91 points by James Suckling, this wine is a delicious accompaniment to red meats and aged cheeses, or simply to be savoured for its robust and sophisticated character – a genuine tribute to the soul of the Swartland.
