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 Stellenbosch.
The grapes are selected from various vineyard sites in the Simonsberg, Jonkershoek and Helderberg wards. The conscientiously considered blend of cool gravelly slopes facing False Bay and rich red granitic soils around Stellenbosch ensures a beautiful balance of aromas and flavours. Matured for up to two years in French oak barrels and bottled unfined, the result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that brims with complex flavours thanks to the blended fruit from diverse terroir. It can be enjoyed young or will benefit beautifully from cellaring. Deep garnet in colour.
Inviting aromas of black cherry, plum and cassis are complemented by savoury undertones of black olives, hints of mint and cedar. On the palate, the wine is fruit forward mirroring the aromas. Firm tannins assist in creating a voluptuous mouthfeel which is balanced by a long, appetising finish. A classic Stellenbosch Cabernet.
