Le Riche is the master of modern Cape Cabernet, skillfully blended here with Cinsault, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot. A family run estate founded by Etienne Le Riche in 1996. Situated close to the historic town of Stellenbosch, the winery is perched on the slopes of the Heldeberg Mountain and surrounded by the majestic Hottentots Holland Mountain range. These wines are elegant and classy with fine grained tannins and subtle oak integration, and while not aiming to be Bordeaux replicas, they do have much in common with the balance and poise sometimes found in top Margaux. With most of their wines sold domestically in SA.
Tasting note: Fresh, vibrant aromas of raspberry and blackcurrant are supported by hints of cedar and white pepper. Juicy fruit and mouth-filling flavours of red cherry and plum fill the palate. Fine tannins enhance the silky mouthfeel and long, delicate finish.
Food match: Meaty pasta dishes and richer stews.
