Information about "Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block 2022"

The Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block trumps with an incredibly complex and seductive bouquet. It ensnares the nose with opulent aromas of dark berry compote, ripe plums and blackberries as well as an attractive touch of spicy liquorice, floral violets, dark cocoa and fine mint. These aromas, already sniffed by the nose, also run seamlessly through the full-bodied, hearty palate, completed and rounded off by nuances of dark cherries, red currants, black olives and smoked meat. Its fine-grained and elegant tannin is in perfect balance with the lemony acidity of the wine, giving the middle palate a remarkable complexity. Its full and generous mouthfeel finishes in a slightly smoky and stunningly long finish with hints of maraschino cherries, pimento olives and sweet tobacco.

Treatment in the cellar

Der gesamte Cabernet Sauvignon reifte in erstbelegten Fässern aus französischer Eiche (Neuholz), während die anderen Sorten separat in zweit- sowie drittbefüllten französischen Barriques reifen durften. Alle Weine verbrachten eine Gesamtzeit von 12- 14 Monaten in Barriques, 2500L foudres und 600L demi-muids bevor sie verschnitten wurden und der Blend leicht verfeinert und filtriert zum Genuss auf die Flasche gefüllt wurde.
