Delighted to share that the Reserve 2022 has been awarded Double Gold Runner-up at the Global Fine Wine Challenge for 2025.

The Global Fine Wine Challenge unites five continents in a quest for excellence and to find top wines.

From Australia to the USA, every entry is a story crafted by passionate winemakers and judged blind by experts.

Comments from the judges this year for the Reserve 2022:
“Definitely one of the more opulent wines. Luxurious, chocolatey aromas. Black cherry and plum. Smoky new oak. Plenty of tannins, ripe and fine-grained. Needs time.”
“Lifted bouquet of cassis, red and black plum, cedar. Round and plush with ample mid-palate density underpinned by a backbone of polished tannins. Impeccable balance and poise.”

Another testimony to the quality, consistency, and elegance our wines have to offer. Acquire your Reserve 2022 today: www.leriche.co.za/purchase-our-wines

The Le Riche portfolio is made up of three core wines all made using Cabernet Sauvignon.

Join Le Riche as we celebrate our family and winemaking heritage. With September being Heritage Month in South Africa, we pay homage to this with our Richesse, which is a blend that honours this heritage. A combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsaut, the Richesse is a traditional Heritage Blend and has been blended since the early 1900s.

Nature conservation has always been dear to our hearts, with our earlier family members being instrumental in the establishment of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and becoming its first game rangers in the mid-1930s. This legacy was maintained for over 60 years, with a Le Riche as game ranger at the helm of the park for more than six decades.

To celebrate both our nature conservation and winemaking heritage, Le Riche Wines will donate 5% of all bottle sales of our Richesse during the month of September, showing the promotional sticker, to the Game Rangers’ Association of Africa (GRAA), Africa’s oldest and most representative ranger association, founded in 1970 and supporting over 6,000 rangers. Make a difference and help us to contribute to the wellbeing of not only South African, but African rangers at large. They play a vital and important role in protecting our continent, wildlife, and communities.

Raise a glass, make a difference this year with Le Riche!

New Release: RESERVE 2022

We are excited to share the release of the new vintage 2022 of our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.

In the words of Greg Sherwood MW:

“With time in glass, the dark broody blackcurrant, blueberry, and black cherry notes unfurl, following on to the palate that is texturally a hybrid style between the silky, weightless concentration of the 2017 vintage and the bold fleshy opulence of the 2020 vintage. But the Le Riche Reserve is always deceptively easy to drink when young, with its incredibly pure, intense, voluptuous fruit concentration masking its true tannin structure hiding beneath. Wonderfully fresh and tangy in the mouth, this is another majestic effort from one of South Africa’s finest premium wineries. Drink from 2026 to 2040+.”
96+/100

Celebrate Heritage Day this year with our Stellenbosch Heritage Blend – the Richesse.

This Cabernet Sauvignon-Cinsaut based blend is a nod to the time-honoured blending of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsaut within the region.

‘Richesse’ means ‘wealth’ in French, and the name refers to the wealth of winemaking heritage the Stellenbosch region has to its name.
