Winery La Bri
The Winery La Bri is one of the oldest Huguenot farms in the Franschhoek Valley. The name probably derives from the French l’Abri and means refuge, fitting for its location in the natural amphitheater of the valley. With the construction of a gravity cellar with a capacity of 120 tons in 2007 and newly planted vineyards, La Bri has embarked on a modern quality path. Characteristic are the labels with native Cape plants and herbs. On 15 hectares, elegant, characterful wines are produced that proudly represent Franschhoek.
Tasting notes
The Affinity Magnum from the Winery La Bri entices the nose with aromas of ripe berries, accompanied by a subtle mocha note, resulting in a seductively dark and complex aroma. On the palate, you can feel a velvety texture, underscored by fine tannins and a balanced acidity that supports the flavor profile and provides freshness.
Composition:
71 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 19 % Merlot, 6 % Petit Verdot, 4 % Cabernet Franc
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
