Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon
Regular price £23.00 Save £-23.00/
Christo Le Riche has produced this fine expression of Stellenbosch Cabernet with fruit from cooler maritime influenced vineyards and inland locations. Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfectly balanced wine with flavours of cherries, plums and vanilla with hints of spice and cedar on the smooth finish.
Le Riche is a family run estate founded by Etienne Le Riche in 1996. Situated close to the historic town of Stellenbosch, the winery is perched on the slopes of the Heldeberg Mountain and surrounded by the majestic Hottentots Holland Mountain range.If youre based in Stellenbosch and going to specialise in something, Cabernet is a great choice! Le Riche are known as 'Cabernet Masters' and rightly so. They select grapes from the best possible Stellenbosch terroirs to craft top quality Cabernets with superb cellaring potential. These wines are elegant and classy with fine grained tannins and subtle oak integration, and while not aiming to be Bordeaux replicas, they do have much in common with the balance and poise sometimes found in top Margaux. With most of their wines sold domestically, it's a rare treat to find these wines on UK soils. Production is 8000×6 cases a year, with the Reserve range consisting of only 1000 cases. These wines are rare but worth sourcing.
