Le Riche Richesse Red Blend

The Richesse (meaning “richness” in French) lives up to its name with depth, balance and effortless drinkability. This Cape Bordeaux-style blend is driven by Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by old-vine Cinsault and a touch of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc for aromatic lift and spice.

On the nose, ripe blackcurrant and plum meet hints of cedar, tobacco and warm spice. The palate is supple and layered, with generous dark fruit wrapped in silky tannins, complimented by a refreshing finish that keeps it food-friendly. Medium-to-full bodied and impeccably balanced, it’s both serious and approachable.
