Description
Le Riche Wines, founded by Etienne Le Riche in 1996, has established itself as a premier producer of Cabernet Sauvignon in Stellenbosch. The 2022 vintage continues this legacy, sourcing grapes from diverse terroirs, including Firgrove, Helderberg, Jonkershoek, Raithby, and Simonsberg. This meticulous selection results in a wine that captures the essence of its origins.
Tasting Notes:
Deep garnet in color, this wine greets the nose with vibrant aromas of blackberry, plums, fresh cherry, and subtle hints of cassis and spice. The palate reveals sweet fruit on entry, evolving into a complex blend of red and black fruit pastilles. Firm tannins and balanced acidity create a voluptuous, mid-bodied mouthfeel, leading to a long finish accented by dark chocolate, black cherry, and cedar nuances.
Food Pairing Recommendations:
This classic Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon pairs excellently with grilled red meats, hearty stews, and mature hard cheeses. Its robust structure and rich flavors complement dishes like slow-cooked lamb shank or a savory beef casserole.
