Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon

The Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon is the true backbone of the range, crafted using only a selection of Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards. Supple, elegant and rich with layers of fruit, this is our expression of the quintessential Cabernet Sauvignon from Stellenbosch.

The grapes are selected from various vineyard sites in the Simonsberg, Jonkershoek and Helderberg wards. The conscientiously considered blend of cool gravelly slopes facing False Bay and rich red granitic soils around Stellenbosch ensures a beautiful balance of aromas and flavours. Matured for up to two years in French oak barrels and bottled unfined, the result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that brims with complex flavours thanks to the blended fruit from diverse terroir. It can be enjoyed young or will benefit beautifully from cellaring.

Why we sourced this wine "I'm a sucker for a classic Stellenbosch Cab Sauv, and I think this provides solid value for money, considering its accolades and production methods (made from selected vineyard blocks in Simonsberg, Jonkershoek and Helderberg wards, matured in French oak). The winery (Le Riche) has a very strong reputation for Cabernet in Stellenbosch, with significant acclaim." - Steve (Founder RN Wines)
