Le Riche is the master of modern Cape Cabernet, skillfully blended here with other Bordeaux varieties plus Malbec and Cinsault. A wine of great appeal and finesse that over delivers on all fronts. Ripe and juicy on the nose with typical red fruit aromas of plum and red cherry and milled pepper are balanced by aromas of black liquorice and savoury spice. The palate is hugely appealing with mouth-filling flavours of red berries, plums and smoky hints balanced with a fine, soft tannic structure and rounded finish. A finely structured and harmonious blend. Le Riche
