Syrah
With a deep purple ink colour, this voluptuous wine entices with subtle floral tones and plummy richness. The entry is juicy and bright leading to a round palate that combines flavours of ripe plums and dark chocolate. Rich, lingering fruit; firm but integrated tannins. Each of our wines is linked to a specific flower – the characteristics of the wine are symbolized by that particular flower on the label.
Herbae (Herbs) – Our Syrah has powerful perfumed aromas of fennel, thyme, rosemary, violet and oregano, much like one would experience whilst strolling through a herb garden.

About the winery: La Bri
One cannot mention La Bri without referring to the past, as the property forms an essential part of the South African wine history and culture. The original grant of La Bri is one of the oldest Huguenot-allocated farms in the Franschhoek Valley. The farm is situated in the valley previously known as Olifantshoek. Today La Bri is a vibrant boutique winery and a visit to Franschhoek won’t be complete without a stopover at La Bri.
The Franschhoek Region
The valley of Franschhoek has retained its French Huguenot character, which is reflected in the names of many of the wine farms, guesthouses and restaurants. The valley offers visitors numerous walks and biking trails in the surrounding mountains, and many farms offer trout fishing in streams and dams, as well as horse riding. Vines are planted on the banks of rivers and up mountain slopes, resulting in a wide range of wines. The most widely planted white-wine varieties are Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Semillon. Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot are the most widely planted red-wine varieties. The valley is mainly recognised for the quality of its Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Semillon — there are Semillon vines in the valley which are over 100 years old. Franschhoek is also regarded as one of South Africa’s leading Méthode Cap Classique (MCC) producing areas and has its own MCC route.
