Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

R650,00

The Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon is the true backbone of the range, crafted using only a selection of Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards. Supple, elegant and rich with layers of fruit, this is our expression of the quintessential Cabernet Sauvignon from Stellenbos

The bouquet shows ripe cherries, fresh plums and an array of red and black fruits. Hints of vanilla, pencil shavings and cedar round out the fruit. The fine tannins are balanced on the palate by a firm structure and juicy, lingering finish. An elegant and approachable Cabernet Sauvignon.

About the Wine Estate

The golden thread throughout every step of the Le Riche winemaking process is meticulous attention to detail. Just as with the uncompromising vineyard selection and grape sourcing, so the team dedicate the same level of care to working with the grapes in the winery. After fermentation and the initial ageing, blending forms the final key step in determining the style and character of each wine. The Le Riche portfolio is made up of three core wines all made using Cabernet Sauvignon, with each wine receiving equal consideration while showcasing a different facet of the grape.
