La Bri Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon

Only 853 bottles of this expressive Cabernet Sauvignon were filled - vinified exclusively in outstanding vintages and from the estate's best vineyard: Block 1, planted in 1999. A real collector's item for lovers of strong, storable red wines from South Africa.

The selected grapes were processed gently - after a one-week cold maceration in stainless steel tanks, malolactic fermentation was carried out in barrels. The wine matured for 24 months in French oak, giving it structure, depth and elegant spice.

The wine impresses with its velvety texture and finely nuanced aromas: blackcurrant (cassis), cedar wood, pencil shavings and dark spice characterize the bouquet. Powerful on the palate, but always balanced, with present tannins and a long, mineral finish.

Each limited release from La Bri has a matching flower - in this case the Watsonia alba, a symbol of strength and purity. Like the flower, so is the wine: pure, powerful and impressively elegant. Awarded 94 points in the Platter Wine Guide - an exclusive Cabernet Sauvignon with depth and class.

Ideal with matured beef, lamb chops, game dishes or a hearty mushroom risotto.

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 Sauvage Methode Cap Classique (MCC) Brut
The Sauvage La Bri Cap Classique is an artisan Blanc de Blancs made from 100% Chardonnay, which shows the power and elegance of the South African sparkling wine tradition in its purest form. Only 1150 bottles of this special vintage were produced - each individually numbered by hand.The Chardonnay grapes come from La Bri's oldest vineyard (planted in 1991) and were carefully harvested by hand on February 12, 2018. After careful whole cluster pressing, the must fermented in four old French barriques. After 3 months of barrel maturation, the base wine was bottled and crown-corked with liqueur de tirage to start the second fermentation in the bottle.Particularly impressive: the wine matured for 71 months on the lees ("sur lie") - a clear sign of quality and patience. As a Brut Nature, it was disgorged without dosage and thus retains its natural freshness and structure.In the glass, Sauvage La Bri Cap Classique has a fine perlage and complex aromas of toasted bread, dried mushrooms, citrus zest and mineral notes. The palate is taut, straightforward and precise with a refreshing, long finish.The label is adorned with the delicate Serruria florida, also known as the "Blushing Bride" - a tribute to the origin of the grapes and the romance of the moment. The name "Sauvage La Bri" charmingly alludes to the French word for "wild" and the art of sabrage. Each bottle is a real collector's item.Ideal with oysters, ceviche, scallops or goat's cheese with citrus flavors. It also reveals its full potential with tempura or sashimi.A vintage Cap Classique for true connoisseurs - strictly limited and masterfully vinified.
