Description
Le Riche is widely regarded as one of South Africa’s masters of Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Richesse blend reflects that pedigree. The 2021 vintage brings together Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Merlot in a harmonious, finely-tuned composition.
The fruit is sourced from carefully selected vineyards across Stellenbosch, each site contributing distinct layers of character. Gentle extraction, traditional fermentation and thoughtful maturation in French oak allow the wine to express purity, elegance and unmistakable Stellenbosch identity.
Imagine opening this bottle for a relaxed yet refined dinner. The deep ruby colour glows in the glass. Aromas of red and dark berries lift effortlessly, followed by subtle hints of cedar and spice. Each sip reveals the signature Le Riche style: polished, graceful and beautifully composed.
Tasting notes
Nose: Red cherry, plum and blackcurrant with delicate touches of cedar, dried herbs and warm spice.
Palate: Medium-bodied with silky tannins, lively acidity and a vibrant core of red and dark fruit. Gentle oak notes add refinement without overpowering the fruit purity.
Finish: Smooth, elegant and persistent, with lingering berry fruit and savoury undertones.
