Our People & the Vineyard
Today La Bri is a vibrant boutique winery.
La bri believes in applying both traditional & modern methods, and is dedicated to producing limited volumes of superior quality wine that embody all that is unique to La Bri in years to come.
The wines of La Bri are a product of a mixture of noble cultivars, fertile soil and a Mediterranean climate. The northerly aspect of the vineyards ensures enough sun contact during spring to generate new growth of the vines, and during summer the South Easter wind tempers the heat, keeping the wines cool and healthy.
Long, warm summer days allow the berries to ripen optimally, while the evening mist that rolls in at dusk enhances the acid content of the fruit, an essential necessity for wine longevity.
The La Bri terroir is diverse, and boasts varied soils, some sandy, with a firm clay base - other soils are alluvial - deep and rich.
Currently there are 15.5 hectares of wine grapes planted and cultivars include: Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.
This together with careful vineyard practices ensures that the La Bri wine portfolio can compete with the best wines South Africa has to offer.
The spirit of La Bri is perhaps best described in a quote by owner, Robin:
“La Bri is a small, quiet, very beautiful place. Being there makes you want to do things better”
