Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon (2022)
Regarded as one of the leading premium producers of Cabernet Sauvignon, the vision of Le Riche is to deliver the ultimate expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Stellenbosch.
And this wine shows this is spades. Lithe and luscious, rich and rewarding, the wine envelopes your tongue with pure varietal characters, fine tannins and a long, long finish.
This expertly crafted wine has been blended from grapes grown in four specifically diverse terroirs: the sandy gravel soils of Firgrove and Raithby, the granite soils of the Jonkershoek, the cool gravelly slopes facing False Bay and the rich, red soils around Stellenbosch. Each vineyard block is vinified separately, allowing the unique characteristics of each block to develop. After a few months ageing, the final blend is made and the wine spends 12 months in French oak barriques before bottling.
The 2022 vintage scored 93 points in Tim Atkin's 2024 South Africa Report.
