From the Swartland region of South Africa, The Chocolate Block is Boekenhoutskloof’s cult classic blend, often built on a Shiraz backbone with Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Viognier. The grapes come from low-yielding old vines, producing concentrated fruit with a savoury edge. Despite the name, it’s not sweet—think rich dark berries, mocha, gentle spice and a cocoa-like smoothness that nods to its name. Its plush texture and depth make it a dream with Moura’s slow-braised meats or even a smoky chorizo stew.
