Reserve

2020 Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

Le Riche Reserve is a remarkable Cabernet Sauvignon hailing from the esteemed Stellenbosch region, celebrated for its exceptional terroir that nurtures high-quality grapes. This 2020 vintage presents a deep, alluring red hue, indicating its bold character. On the palate, the wine showcases a full-bodied profile with a pronounced acidity that adds vibrancy to each sip. The rich fruit intensity reveals notes of dark berries, blackcurrant, and a hint of plum, creating a luscious and inviting experience. Additionally, the supple tannins provide structure while remaining well-integrated, making it an elegant yet powerful choice. As a dry wine, it beautifully balances its fruitiness with refined, savory undertones, making it a delightful companion for hearty dishes.

Region:


Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is the heart and soul of South African wine, as important to the country's winemaking prestige as Napa is to the United States or Bordeaux to France. This beautiful region comprises seven sub-regions, all centered around the leafy university town of Stellenbosch. Winemaking here is influenced by the cooling sea breezes that sweep in off False Bay, and the crumbly, mineral-rich granite soils. While perhaps most famous for its beloved Pinotage, Stellenbosch also offers a diverse range of varietals, such as its impeccable Bordeaux blends, fragrant Syrah, crisp Chenin Blanc and outstanding Chardonnay.
