What makes Le Riche Richesse 2023 special is its three-grape precision. Cabernet Sauvignon forms the core, bringing structure and depth. Cinsaut adds charm perfume, brightness and a moreish drinkability that makes the wine feel agile rather than heavy. Cabernet Franc completes the blend with aromatic lift and fine texture. The result is a Stellenbosch red that feels fragrant, focused and beautifully measured, offering serious quality with effortless enjoyment.
Tasting Notes
Bright ruby with a deep, youthful core. The nose is nuanced and expressive, revealing red and black berries, wild herbs and a lifted floral note, supported by a subtle spice edge. On the palate, the wine feels detailed and controlled — pure fruit, fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins create a smooth, steady flow from entry to finish. The aftertaste is long, dry and savoury, leaving a fynbos-like freshness that feels distinctly Stellenbosch.
Food Pairing
This is a brilliant wine is refined, yet unfussy. Pair it with grilled lamb, roast chicken, steak with herb butter, mushroom dishes or slow-cooked beef. It also excels with braai culture favourites, because its balance and fragrance keep it lively even alongside smoky, charred flavours.
Description
Richesse is Le Riche’s tribute to Stellenbosch’s original blending culture. Cabernet Sauvignon supported by Cinsaut for perfume and drinkability, with Cabernet Franc adding detail and texture. It’s a style rooted in heritage, yet it feels strikingly modern in execution.
The 2023 vintage leans into clarity rather than weight. It is composed and quietly confident, delivering fragrance, freshness and fine structure without needing overt power. This is a wine for buyers who appreciate elegance, definition and a long, dry finish rather than sweetness or heaviness.
