{"product_id":"the-chocolate-block","title":"The Chocolate Block","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Chocolate Block has long been a cult favourite. Produced by Boekenhoutskloof — named South Africa’s Winery of the Year 2020 — this wine has a loyal following and a reputation for depth, richness and mystery. Winemaker Marc Kent is famously secretive about the exact blend, tweaking the recipe each vintage so no two Chocolate Blocks are ever quite the same.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe wine is typically built around Syrah, supported by Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon and a hint of Viognier for aromatic lift. Full and round on the palate, it bursts with ripe raspberry and blackcurrant, alongside layers of leather, earth, chocolate, spice and subtle oak. It pairs beautifully with spice-rubbed steaks, roast rib of beef, or game dishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrape: Syrah\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecondary Varieties: Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Grenache\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClosure: Natural Cork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCountry: South Africa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegion: Swartland\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eType: Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyle: Savoury \u0026amp; Full Bodied\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVintage: 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eABV: 14.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnits: 21.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCharacteristics: Vanilla, Black Cherry, Black Plum, Chocolate, Coffee, Tobacco\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rowies-related-products\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExplore more at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.rowies.scot\/\"\u003erowies.scot\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.rowies.scot\/products\/the-guvnor-75cl\"\u003eThe Guv'nor 75cl\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.rowies.scot\/products\/taylors-late-bottled-vintage-port-75\"\u003eTaylor's Late Bottled Vintage Port 75cl\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.rowies.scot\/products\/aime-arnoux-chateauneuf-du-pape\"\u003eAimé Arnoux Châteauneuf-du-Pape\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"rowies.scot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56444207825238,"sku":null,"price":29.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/6845\/7302\/files\/the-chocolate-block-white-square.jpg?v=1793630447","url":"https:\/\/www.rowies.scot\/products\/the-chocolate-block","provider":"Rowies ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
