Only 1444 bottles of this 3rd vintage MCC were produced.

This Blanc de blancs is 100% Chardonnay from the oldest block on La Bri – planted in 1991. The grapes for this iconic wine were hand-picked on the 31st of January 2013.

The grapes were hand sorted and whole bunch pressed before fermentation in 4 old French barrels. After 3 months in barrel the base wine was bottled and crown capped by hand, Liquer de tirage was added and the wine was left to complete its secondary fermentation. Sauvage La Bri has matured sur lie for 5 years in the bottle before disgorgement. No dosage was added to produce this Brut Nature Cap Classique.

Each of our wines is linked to a specific flower- the characteristics of the wine are symbolized by that particular flower on the label.

Serruria Florida - commonly known as the Blushing Bride or the Pride of Franschhoek. This flower represents a celebration of life and love and a recognition of the origin of our grapes and the history of La Bri.

Each bottle is hand numbered. The design on each metal cap reflects a flower on the label. The first 2011 vintage the flower was closed, and it opens slightly with each vintage. This is a wine to savour – a classic MCC
