AWARD WINNING

Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

R390,00

Aromas of cherries, plums and blackcurrants are well integrated with undertones of fresh herbs, cedar and a hint of nutmeg in this splendid Cabernet Sauvignon. Granular tannins create grip and freshness on the structured palate and follow through to a long lingering finish with juicy soft fruit. A classic Stellenbosch Cabernet.

More Information

In the cellar

Once harvested, the grapes for this wine are bunch sorted and pumped into open-top fermenters. The winemaking team vinify each vineyard block separately, allowing the unique characteristics and flavours of each block to develop. After a year of ageing, the final blend is made, and the wine spends a further year in oak before release. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that brims with complexity thanks to the blended fruit from diverse terroir.

In the vineyard

The fruit for this wine is sourced from selected vineyard sites within Stellenbosch. The conscientiously considered mixture of cool gravelly slopes facing False Bay and rich red granitic soils around Stellenbosch ensure a beautiful balance of aromas and flavours in the final wine.

Ageing

This wine can be enjoyed young or will benefit beautifully from cellaring for four to eight years.

Cultivar

Cabernet Sauvignon

Food Pairing

This wine is a excellent compliment to grilled red meats and pairs perfectly with mature hard cheeses.
