The Chocolate Block is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Viognier. The Syrah comes from malmesbury, the Grenache from Citrusdal, the Cinsault from Wellington and the Cabernet and Viognier come from Boekenhoutskloof's own vineyards. The wine is fermented in large 600 litre oak vats and then transferred to second and third fill French barrels for maturation. This is a rich and complex wine.
