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
On the nose, the Chocolate Block is deep and dark and seduces with aromas of black fruits and a hint of pepper and spices. The blueberry and blackberry aromas of the bouquet continue on the palate with aromas of dark plums, dust, graphite and cocoa nibs. The wine is concentrated and elegant, with fresh and well-integrated acidity followed by fine-grained tannins that give it an exceptional structure. Blackcurrants and milk chocolate linger on a silky finish.
Culinary recommendation
Goes well with meat dishes of all kinds or spicy curries.
