Le Riche Richesse
£14.49
Le Riche Richesse - Le Riche is the master of modern Cape Cabernet. A wine that over delivers on all fronts!
This is the only red wine produced by Le Riche that is not 100% Cabernet. A reincarnation of Le Riche's classic blend, this is an exceptionally lovely, classically Bordelaise blend.
Restrained but appealing on the nose with typical red fruit aromas of plum, cherries and milled pepper are balanced by an aroma of finely ground graphite found in Left Bank Bordeaux. The palate is a masterpiece of blending - hugely appealing with juicy mouth-filling flavours of red berries, plums and smoky hints balanced with a fine, soft tannic structure and rounded finish.
Grapes were carefully selected and hand-picked from vineyards located in Firgrove, Jonkershoek, Helderberg, Bottelary and Raithby in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. The wines were fermented separately being transferred to French oak barriques for 12 months maturation. After blending, the finished wine was aged a further 8 months in barrique and foudre. No fining and minimal filtration.
Regarded as one of the leading ultra-premium producers of Cabernet Sauvignon, at Le Riche Wines their vision is to craft the ultimate expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Stellenbosch Winelands of South Africa. Founded and managed by the Le Riche Family, they exclusively select and source only the highest-quality grapes, from unique vineyards, grown by long-term, established farmers. At the core of this is an inherent knowledge and respect of terroir, in particular the soil, and a winemaking ethos that is traditionally simplistic yet innovative.
