La Bri | Franschhoek, South Africa

The original grant of La Bri is one of the oldest Huguenot-allocated farms in the Franschhoek Valley. It was one of the first of nine farms granted to members of the main group of Huguenots who sought sanctuary in the Cape in 1688. The name ‘La Bri’ is probably derived from the French for ‘the refuge’, a perfect name for this property, as it is safely nestled in the imposing amphitheatre of the Franschhoek valley. In 2007 a new era dawned for La Bri. Vineyards were gradually replanted, and a new 120 Tonne Boutique wine cellar was built in time for the 2008 harvest. The labels were redesigned to feature indigenous Cape flowers and herbs, playing on the symbiotic relationship between wine and fynbos, so apparent in the Cape. The 15 hectares of vineyards at La Bri grow in diverse soil types from sandy loam to deep and rich alluvial soils. This allows for the range of Grape varieties grown from Cabernet sauvignon to Viognier. This is iconic South African wine, produced in small numbers in one of the most beautiful settings on planet earth. These incredible wines should have a place in the cellar of any genuine oenophile. We’re honoured to have these wines as part of our portfolio here at Liquid Indulgence.
