Le Riche Wines
Specialists in the production of Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon
We focus on the production of top quality Cabernet Sauvignon’s from the Stellenbosch region. The winery was created by Etienne le Riche, a founder member of the Cape Winemakers Guild. His approach was simple, to express the nuance of Stellenbosch Cabs in the best blend possible. Looking back on the last 13 year, it is safe to say that he was successful.
Our vineyards are situated throughout the Stellenbosch region. This gives us the ability to harness the variety of terroirs Stellenbosch has to offer in a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon blend.
Our winemaking approach is traditionally simplistic, yet innovative. Using only open top concrete fermenters and manual punch downs, the fruit can ferment under constant temperature to ensure optimal extraction without excessive dry tannins. The result, a wine that has established itself as an South African icon.
