About the wine
Franschhoek, Western Cape. French immigrants brought in the 17th century winegrowing after Franschhoek. The Chocolate Block is a parade example of the “Châteauneuf-du-Cap”, like the region on the Western Cape is often called. Whether it's due to the chocolate flavors is that this Wine became a phenomenon?

Tasting note
Boysenberry and dark cherry dominate the inviting bouquet, with soft scents of violets and rose petals and a touch of exotic spices. The full-bodied black and red fruits of the bouquet continue with aromas of ripe plums, blackcurrants, dried cranberries and blueberries. Light hints of cured meat and espresso add complexity to the round, silky center palate. The delicious texture of milk chocolate is balanced by fine, powdery tannins and a fresh, integrated acidity. The wine is medium-bodied, supple and elegant with licorice and subtle notes of crushed coriander and black cardamom, lingering on a smooth, soft finish.
Culinary recommendation
It goes very well with meat dishes of all kinds or even with spicy curry dishes.
