    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.

    2023 Puligny-Montrachet, Ropiteau Frères

    £9400

    Ropiteau Frères has been a standard-bearer in Meursault and Côte de Beaune since 1848, when Jean Ropiteau capitalised on the new railway to promote Burgundy wines across France. Over generations, the house has collected prime parcels, including key holdings within Puligny‑Montrachet, becoming recognised for its expressive, terroir-driven whites.

    The 2023 Puligny‑Montrachet presents a bright, citrus-forward bouquet of lemon and sesame blossom, layered with delicate vanilla toast from just 20% new French oak.  On the palate, it is fresh and elegantly proportioned, with invigorating acidity and a minerally spine. Flavours of white peach and apricot glide across a creamy texture, finishing with a discreet woodiness and lingering charm.

    2023 Chardonnay, Far Niente

    £9500

    Aromas of citrus, melon and honeysuckle complement hints of white fig, gardenia and toasted hazelnuts on a background of mild toasted oak that adds supportive warmth and richness. A silky palate with a rich texture surrounds a sweet core of melon and citrus, with notes of white floral and toasted vanilla and spice, through to a long bright finish.

    Far Niente Chardonnay is a blend of superlative Napa Valley vineyards, many of which are located in a little-known area called Coombsville, a cool growing region nestled in the rolling countryside and protected by the hills east of the city of Napa. Coombsville offers the characteristic climate of Carneros, with less wind, along with deeper, well-drained gravelly loam and volcanic ash soils. The combination of these vineyards results in subtle, tropical flavours, complex aromas and rich texture.

    2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes, Sylvain Debord

    £9500

    The 2023 Vieilles Vignes opens with refined aromas of toasted hazelnut, light vanilla, lemon blossom, and white peach. On the palate, it balances rich texture with fresh minerality, creamy mid-palate complexity meets a sharply defined infrastructural backbone of citrus acidity. Flavours of almond pastry, subtle brioche, and an undercurrent of wet stone lead to a long, clean, and elegant finish. Structured yet expressive, this village-level wine delivers excellent ageing potential.

    This Chassagne Montrachet is a blend of three different climats within the appellation, each imparting subtle nuances to the wine in terms of minerality, acidity and body, resulting in complexity and balance. The old vines are grown in complex, stony clay and limestone soils and are densely planted.

    2023 Stonevik, Viña VIK

    £16500

    A full-bodied blend imbued with tightly layered tannins giving a velvety texture and notes of blackberry, earthy notes, mushroom, graphite and herbal hints of sage. Delicious and long with chocolatey tones on the everlasting finish.

    STONEVIK is a natural wine created in nature by nature. A blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère from vineyards where the best holistic, organic and biodynamic practices were used.

    The grapes were fermented in toasted oak barrels with the Barroir method (with oak fallen from the property) for a period equivalent to a lunar cycle. The wine is then aged in handmade amphorae made by artisans using the same clay as VIK’s terroir. A total of 7 amphorae, 3 in honour of the universe and 4 in honour of the earth, aligned according to astronomical principles. The amphorae are semi-buried in the highest peak of VIK Park, over 1,000 meters above sea level, surrounded by centenary oak trees, in a sector VIK call “La Roblería”. It is there where STONEVIK lies under the wisdom of the forest and where, in each summer solstice, nature gives us this exceptional wine.
