La Bri
Welcome to La Bri Winery, a gem in South Africa’s picturesque Franschhoek- Valley. Nestled in an idyllic landscape, it is known for its carefully cultivated wines, which reflect the unique terroir characteristics of the region . Although Franschhoek is known for its French Huguenot roots and winemaking traditions, the winery has built a reputation of its own.
The vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate with cool winds, encouraging slow grape ripening and resulting in complex aromas and balanced acidity. The La Bri Winery focuses on several grape varieties, including Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc, which thrive here.
Each bottle from La Bri is an expression of the passion and dedication that go into growing and making the wine. Discover the outstanding wines that perfectly reflect the terroir of Franschhoek , including wines made from the grape variety Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay.
Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The Barrel Select Chardonnay 2024 from the Winery La Bri shows a distinctive concentration with aromas of citrus fruits and stone fruit. On the palate, it feels rich and at the same time bright, clearly focused and elegant, supported by a fresh acidity and a mineral finish.
The grapes were hand-picked at the end of January, chilled overnight, and pressed as whole grapes. The clear must fermented in two 600-liter barrels made from French oak (with 50% new), and the wine matured for a total of 11 months on the lees, giving it additional complexity and depth.
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.
