Critics Ratings
'It's great to see Le Riche back where it belongs among the best producers of Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon. Produced from a number of separately fermented blocks, this is wonderfully scented and appealing for a young wine, with filigree tannins, very fine 35% new wood, layers of intensity and concentration and the fruit power and depth to age in bottle.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 94/100
'Grapes from same wards as Reserve plus Helderberg. 2018 preview has greater concentration of dark fruit than 2017 (90 pts), excellent balance in the oaking (35% new, 24 months). Will be ready earlier than the Reserve - but also a solid track record for beneficial cellaring.' Platter's SA Wine Guide 2021, 4.5* (91/100)
