Dear *|FNAME|*,

There’s no other producer in Stellenbosch as focused and dedicated to the ‘king of grapes’ – Cabernet Sauvignon – as Le Riche. The Reserve 2019 is a towering, immense wine with chiselled tannins and ‘lots of drive and energy’, according to Tim Atkin MW. Synonymous with the best Stellenbosch Cabernets for more than two decades, Le Riche has created some of the region’s most age-worthy wines. The 2019 is one of them and was among the top-rated Cabs in Tim’s 2022 SA Report.

We offer a pre-release opportunity on the Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2019. Modern yet classic, with the lowest alcohol since 2004, it has an incredible balance of power and freshness, and a dry, firm finish.

The 2019 is produced from four different wards: 46% Firgrove, 26% Helderberg, 15% Simonsberg, and 13% Raithby. Reserve status is only endowed when the parcels are exceptional, and the grapes are vinified and matured in French Oak for 24 months – 92% new. The winemaking is precise and confident, with masterful oak integration. 

This is 100% modern Stellenbosch Cabernet at its finest! A must for the collector and long-term ageing.

Tasting notes

Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2019

'Featuring the lowest alcohol level since 2004 - the 2019 vintage was late and wet in Stellenbosch - this superb, layered Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon is based on Firgrove fruit, with support from Jonkershoek, Raithby and Simonsberg components. Aged in 92% new oak, it's a structured, dense, finely judged red with graphite and pastille flavours and lots of drive and energy. 2024-32.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 95/100
