About this Item
The highly coveted Le Riche Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship wine, crafted exclusively from the finest Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard blocks in Stellenbosch. This limited-production wine represents the pinnacle of the range and has become a New World benchmark for the varietal. The Reserve designation is awarded only when the grapes and resulting wine meet the estate's highest standards, ensuring an exceptional expression of Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon.
'Classic ripe cherry fruit flavours, with spicy oak and some cedar on the nose. The palate is rich and succulent with smooth, juicy tannins. The underlying structure and long finish promise even greater complexity with further maturation in bottle.' - Winemakers tasting notes.

'2008 is much riper, more alcoholic mould, in difficult vintage. Intense & sumptuous dark berries, powerful oak in support' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2013, 4.5*
