Our Wine
| 
Situated in the imposing amphitheater of the Franschhoek valley, La Bri has been the source of fine wines for centuries. In April 1688, the first 270 French Huguenots settlers landed in Saldana Bay. Exiles from their country, persecuted for their Protestant faith, they left France in search of tolerance and freedom, bringing with them a not insignificant knowledge of viticulture.
Each of our wines is linked to a specific flower - the characteristics of the wine is symbolized by the particular flower on the label.

La Bri Affinity 2006 The wine has a beautiful dark, rich colour. An exceptionally complex wine with dark fruit and cloves on the nose. Full bodied, succulent and approachable. Tannins elegantly integrated. |
 |
La Bri Merlot 2008 The wine displays an intense brick red colour. The nose shows ripe red berry compote, plums, raspberries and fresh prunes, layered with dried herbs. Supple berry fruit, great structure, firm but harmonious tannins. Decanting when young will give more pleasure and aroma. Flower on label: Amaryllis belladonna (March Lily) |
 |
La Bri Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 The nose shows a complex mix of cassis, cloves, nutmeg and green Madagascan peppercorns. Deliciously ripe, dark, inky fruit, chocolate and a subtle cinnamon background. Good balance between structure and finesse on the palate. Will benefit from a few years of ageing. Flower on the label: Watsonia alba (White watsonia) |

La Bri Shiraz Viognier 2007 This wine displays a beautiful, dark, inky colour. Powerfully perfumed with sweet fruits, thyme, vanilla, fennel and violets. There is a silky, soft feel and glossy texture on the pallet that combine flavours of currents, white pepper and ethereal spice. Rich, lingering fruit and a long, pleasant finish.
