Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2022
€68,00
Description
Nestled in the heart of Stellenbosch, Le Riche Wines is synonymous with South African Cabernet Sauvignon excellence. Founded by Etienne Le Riche and now led by his son Christo, this family estate has become one of the country’s foremost producers of age-worthy, terroir-driven reds. Their Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is not merely a wine – it's a declaration of craftsmanship, selection, and vision.
The 2022 vintage reflects a near-perfect growing season, and in the hands of the Le Riche family, it has been transformed into a wine of profound complexity and finesse. Imagine uncorking this bottle beside a crackling fireplace or pouring it at an intimate dinner under candlelight — a moment to savour, with every sip unveiling deeper nuances.
Each bottle is a tribute to Stellenbosch's rich wine heritage, crafted with precision and aged for 24 months in 70% new French oak. It is a collector’s wine, yes — but also one meant to be enjoyed and shared.
Tasting Notes
The Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2022 opens with a seductive bouquet of violets, graphite, pencil shavings, and lifted cassis. Layers of blackberry, red cherry, and cigar box unfold with air, framed by finely integrated oak. The palate is bold yet elegant — silky tannins weave through black fruit purity, mineral grip, and refined acidity, leading to a long, focused finish. A wine of great tension and precision, destined for aging.
Food Pairing Recommendations
Pair this Reserve with dry-aged ribeye, venison loin with juniper sauce, or a slow-cooked lamb shank. For a more elevated touch, try it alongside black truffle risotto or wild mushroom Wellington. Mature cheeses like aged Comté or Gruyère also make for exceptional companions.
