Richesse

Le Riche is a family-owned Stellenbosch producer run by Etienne and Christo Le Riche, with Christo as chief winemaker. Known especially for ultra-premium Cabernet Sauvignon, the estate works with fruit from distinctive Stellenbosch sites including Jonkershoek, Firgrove, Raithby, Helderberg, Bottelary and Blaauwklippen, seeking to express the region’s varied terroirs. Its approach is traditionally simplistic yet innovative, emphasizing quality, elegance and consistency, with careful site selection and respect for soil. Cabernet Sauvignon is made using techniques including open-tank fermentation and French-oak maturation, alongside Bordeaux-style blends and Chardonnay.
