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.

La Bri Wine Estate

Das Boutique-Weingut La Bri liegt eingebettet in das historische Franschhoek-Tal – eine der ältesten und charmantesten Weinregionen Südafrikas. Gegründet im 17. 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.

La Bri steht für charaktervolle, handgefertigte Weine mit unverwechselbarem Ausdruck des Terroirs. 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.

La Bri Double Door Chardonnay Viognier
Der La Bri Double Door Chardonnay Viognier ist ein Weißwein mit einem ganz eigenen Stil, entstanden aus der Kombination von Trauben vom Weingut und sorgfältig ausgewählten Früchten benachbarter Farmen. Diese kreative Mischung verleiht den Weinen eine besondere Individualität und Charaktertiefe.In der Nase und am Gaumen dominieren intensive Aromen von reifen Pfirsichen und saftigen Zitrusfrüchten. Die fruchtige Süße wird von einer markanten, trockenen Säure perfekt ausbalanciert, sodass der Wein trotz seiner opulenten Fruchtfülle knochentrocken bleibt.Die Trauben des Chardonnay wurden in 300-Liter-Fässern aus französischer Eiche vergoren, was dem Wein eine dezente Holznote und eine samtige Textur verleiht. Der Viognier wurde separat im Edelstahltank ausgebaut, um seine frische, fruchtige Charakteristik zu bewahren. Nach der Gärung verschmolzen die beiden Komponenten und reiften 12 Monate zusammen, wodurch eine harmonische Komplexität und Tiefe entstand.Der La Bri Double Door Chardonnay Viognier eignet sich ideal als Begleiter zu leichten Fischgerichten, Meeresfrüchten, gebratenem Geflügel oder mediterranen Speisen mit frischen Kräutern. Auch vegetarische Gerichte mit cremigen Saucen oder asiatisch inspirierten Aromen profitieren von der feinen Balance aus Frische und Struktur.
