Andy’s Tasting Notes
From the fantastic 2015 vintage, this flagship Cabernet Reserve from Le Riche can be confidently bracketed as world class. Comparable examples from Bordeaux, Napa or Australia would set you back a lot more of your hard earned cash.
Plenty of pleasure if you drink now, or keep till 2030 for further improvement. If drinking now, decant 2 – 3 hours before serving.

Producer Info
Le Riche is 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.
Le Riche are known as ‘Cabernet Masters’ and rightly so. They select grapes from the best possible Stellenbosch terroirs to craft top quality Cabernets with superb cellaring potential.
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, it’s a rare treat to find these wines on UK soils. Production is 8000 ×6 cases a year, with the Reserve range consisting of only 1000 cases.
