La Bri Syrah

La Bri Syrah is an aromatic red wine from Franschhoek full of character, reminiscent of the great tradition of the Côte Rôtie thanks to the combination of Syrah and a hint of Viognier. A beguiling bouquet of lavender, thyme, violets and oriental spices unfolds in the glass - like a walk through a Mediterranean herb garden.

The two grape varieties were harvested together in the last week of February and co-fermented to achieve a particularly intense interplay of aromas. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrels, after which the wine matured for 24 months in selected French oak barrels of 225 and 300 liters. This maturation gives the wine structure, depth and silky tannins.

On the palate, La Bri Syrah is multi-layered, with dark fruit, floral notes and fine herbal spice. The tannins are polished and harmoniously integrated, while the acidity provides freshness and elegance. A wine with substance, but without heaviness - refined, balanced and extremely drinkable.

The botanical illustration "Herbae" on the label underlines the characteristic herbal scent of this wine: fennel, thyme, rosemary, oregano - an aromatic signature that makes it unique.

An ideal accompaniment to herb-crusted lamb chops, game ragout, grilled vegetables or oriental-spiced eggplant. Also a pleasure on its own.

Jahrhundert, verbindet La Bri heute reiche Tradition mit modernem Weinhandwerk. Der Name „La Bri“ stammt vom französischen Wort „l’abri“, was „Zuflucht“ bedeutet – eine Anspielung auf die hugenottische Geschichte der Region.

Die Reben gedeihen auf sonnenverwöhnten Hanglagen mit fruchtbaren, gut drainierten Böden – ideale Bedingungen für Rebsorten wie Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon sowie Chenin Blanc und Chardonnay. Jede Flasche erzählt von Sorgfalt, Präzision und dem Streben nach Balance und Eleganz.

Ein besonderes Merkmal: Jede Weinsorte ziert ein eigenes botanisches Motiv – eine Hommage an die einzigartige Flora des Kap-Weinlands. La Bri ist nicht nur ein Weingut, sondern ein Ort für Genießer, Kunstliebhaber und Ruhesuchende. Mit limitierter Produktion, viel Handarbeit und einer klaren Qualitätsphilosophie zählt La Bri zu den versteckten Juwelen Südafrikas.
