The La Bri Merlot impressively demonstrates the sophistication and depth of this grape variety: an expressive red wine that immediately impresses with its aroma of smoked bacon, violets and ripe mulberries. On the palate, it is juicy and velvety with dark chocolate, finely integrated tannins and a lively structure - a Merlot with charm and class.

The wine comes from a selection of the best barrels from three different plots with clay soils. After malolactic fermentation in the barrel, it matured for 22 months in French oak (16% of which was new), predominantly in 300-liter barriques - for complexity, elegance and depth.

A feminine, structured Merlot that scores with fine aromatics, depth and a long-lasting finish. Its balance between fruit, spice and texture makes it a real treat for Merlot lovers.

The noble Amaryllis belladonna - also known as the "March lily" - adorns the label and stands for grace, beauty and strength. It embodies the personality of this wine: elegant, complex and with an element of surprise.

Ideal with braised lamb, mushroom risotto with truffle oil or dark chocolate with sea salt.

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.
