Keeping in line with consumers’ need for value without compromising on taste Chocoholic is now available in a 2L slimline Bag in Box format. The box also keeps the wine fresher for longer in the fridge and can travel where glass can’t. Chocoholic is composed of two distinctly differing components. 10% of the juice was created by twisting the grape stalks to induce raisening of the fruit while still on the vine. The juice from these grapes is then added to pinotage juice which received oak contact to produce a seductively smooth, sensually soft, subtly sweet, mouth fillingly moreish, unashamedly addictive, decadently Pinotage
