La Bri6x Merlot 2021

About

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. The name La Bri is probably derived from the outlying town of Brie which was the stomping grounds of the de Villiers family in the early 13th century. L’Abri is also French for “the refuge or Haven”, a perfect name for this property, as it is safely nestled in the imposing amphitheatre of the Franschhoek valley. Today La Bri is a vibrant boutique winery and a visit to Franschhoek won’t be complete without a stopover at La Bri.
