La Bri Double Door Red

With the Double Door range, La Bri creates space for creative wines beyond rigid conventions - as is the case with this powerful, multi-layered red wine cuvée. The Double Door Red Blend combines 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 15% Petit Verdot and 6% Cabernet Franc to create a harmonious whole with structure, finesse and elegance.

Only grapes from the estate were used for this wine. After fermentation, the individual batches matured for 24 months in used French barriques before being blended into a precisely balanced cuvée. The longer maturation period ensures a harmonious balance between fruit, spice and velvety tannins.

The La Bri Double Door Red Blend impresses with a deep dark color and aromas of blackcurrants, plums, spices and fine roasted aromas. Powerful but round on the palate with ripe tannins and an elegant, long finish. The influence of Petit Verdot adds depth, while Merlot provides softness and Cabernet Franc freshness.

An ideal accompaniment to grilled beef, rack of lamb or spicy pasta dishes. Also a pleasure with mature hard cheese.

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.

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.
