Top five wines to pair with Barry White

1. The Chocolate Block

‘The wine with secrets to keep’, as its slogan goes, this a rich and broody red blend from the historic Boekenhoutskloof winery in idyllic Franschhoek, South Africa.

Intense and complex with dark, brooding fruit and Swartland violets. A soft, smooth entry, a rich mid-palate, svelte cocoa powdery tannins and a long, lingering finish reminiscent of Swiss dark hazelnut chocolate. A tasting note that might have been written by Barry White himself.
