The Chocolate Block 3.0L double magnum

The Chocolate Block is the bestseller from the Boekenhoutskloof house.

Its multi-layered aromas ensure a special taste experience.

Due to climate change and the associated drought, it is becoming increasingly important to hit the optimal harvest time.

The Swartland vineyards have predominantly slate and granite-containing soils, which ensure lively wines.

Syrah remains the base for this wine. The other grape varieties give it more fruitiness, better structure, and complexity.

The Winery

Boekenhoutskloof

Boekenhoutskloof was founded as early as 1776 in the "farthest corner" of the beautiful Franschhoek Valley. The "French Corner" (Franschhoek) has preserved much of the French way of life, and thus the wine cultivation is also based on French roots.

The name "Boekenhoutskloof" means something like "ravine of the Cape beeches" and was then also made famous under this name by winemaker Marc Kent.

The most well-known grape variety is the Syrah grape, but Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Semillon, and Viognier are also part of the portfolio.
