La Bri Chardonnay

La Bri Chardonnay is an expressive, carefully vinified white wine from Franschhoek that combines classic Chardonnay characteristics with South African radiance. With aromas of white pear, lime and a creamy, finely balanced palate, this wine offers drinking pleasure at a high level - carried by a crisp acidity and a playful, sweet and sour finish.

The grapes were harvested by hand in the first week of February and cooled overnight to preserve freshness and fruit. After whole cluster pressing, the must was left to rest before the clear juice was transferred to a selection of high quality French oak barrels of 300 and 600 liters (39% of which were new).
The wine fermented partly spontaneously, partly with selected yeasts directly in the wood. It then matured for a total of 12 months on the fine lees, giving it its creamy structure and fine complexity.

In the glass, La Bri Chardonnay is animatingly fresh, with bright fruit notes, a hint of flowers and delicate wood. The balance between fruit, acidity and texture makes it a versatile accompaniment to food and an exciting soloist in equal measure.

The bright yellow Clivia miniata on the label symbolizes the floral, lively character of the wine - an expression of freshness, joie de vivre and elegance.

Perfect with grilled poultry, creamy pasta with mushrooms, goat's cheese or summer asparagus. It also unfolds its full charm with Asian dishes with coconut milk or ginger.

Jahrhundert, verbindet La Bri heute reiche Tradition mit modernem Weinhandwerk.

Mit limitierter Produktion, viel Handarbeit und einer klaren Qualitätsphilosophie zählt La Bri zu den versteckten Juwelen Südafrikas.

La Bri Double Door Chardonnay Viognier
La Bri Double Door Chardonnay Viognier is a white wine with a style all of its own, created from a combination of grapes from the estate and carefully selected fruit from neighboring farms. This creative blend gives the wines a special individuality and depth of character.The nose and palate are dominated by intense aromas of ripe peaches and juicy citrus fruits. The fruity sweetness is perfectly balanced by a striking, dry acidity, so that the wine remains bone-dry despite its opulent fruitiness.The Chardonnay grapes were fermented in 300-liter French oak barrels, which gives the wine a subtle woody note and a velvety texture. The Viognier was matured separately in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh, fruity characteristics. After fermentation, the two components merged and matured together for 12 months, creating a harmonious complexity and depth.La Bri Double Door Chardonnay Viognier is ideal as an accompaniment to light fish dishes, seafood, roast poultry or Mediterranean dishes with fresh herbs.
