  2023 The Chocolate Block, Boekenhoutskloof – MAGNUM

  £5500

  A Magnum of South Africa’s cult wine

  The 2023 vintage of The Chocolate Block continues to build on its legacy as one of South Africa’s most iconic and sought-after red blends. Crafted predominantly from Syrah, with carefully selected additions of Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Viognier (blend proportions vary annually), this cult-status wine showcases Boekenhoutskloof’s mastery in balancing innovation and consistency. Only 4,043 barrels were produced, further enhancing its rarity and appeal.

  In the glass, the wine opens with an intensely aromatic bouquet of blackberries, blueberries, and ripe bramble fruit, intertwined with black olive tapenade, crushed violets, and a dusting of white pepper and coriander seed. The palate is rich yet polished, delivering layers of dark berry fruit, red liquorice, and cherry compote, underscored by hints of cherry tobacco and exotic spice.

  Despite its medium to full body, the wine remains elegant and focused, with vibrant acidity and silky tannins that glide across the palate. The finish is long, dry, and laced with a touch of savoury complexity, reflecting both the terroir and meticulous craftsmanship behind the blend.

  A compelling, age-worthy red that drinks beautifully now but will reward cellaring over the next 5–8 years. Ideal with flame-grilled meats, game dishes, or rich Mediterranean fare.

  2022 Porseleinberg Syrah

  £6500

  Porseleinberg is the result of Marc Kent’s (of Boekenhoutskloof fame) determined search for South Africa’s finest Syrah, a journey that ultimately led him to the Swartland. There, atop the windswept Porseleinberg mountain, he discovered a remote, rugged farm with schist-rich soils, which is now recognised as one of the world’s great Syrah sites.

  Established as a single-vineyard project and owned by Boekenhoutskloof, Porseleinberg is meticulously farmed and vinified by winemaker Callie Louw, whose mastery and vision have elevated every vintage since the inaugural 2010 release. Focused exclusively on Syrah, the estate captures the raw power and beauty of its unique terroir, producing wines that are consistently acclaimed for their authenticity, complexity, and age-worthy elegance.

  2014 Schist Syrah ‘Roundstone’, Mullineux

  £7500

  Grapes for our 2014 Schist Syrah were from a single parcel of sustainably farmed 18 years old vines planted in the stony Shale and Schist soils of our farm on the Kasteelberg.

On the nose, there are notes of black pepper, black fruit and spices. The palate is full-bodied with a meaty, savoury character, silky tannins giving structure and a balancing natural acidity. The finish is fresh, long and supple. Ageing potential 10 – 15 years.

  Limited production of 2724 bottles & 150 magnums.
