La bri Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

According to the Franschhoek Museum, the original grant of La Bri is one of the oldest Huguenot-allocated farms in the Franschhoek Valley. It was one of the first of nine farms granted to members of the main group of Huguenots who sought sanctuary in the Cape in 1688. The name ‘La Bri’ is probably derived from the region in France but we prefer the French translation for ‘the refuge’, a perfect name for this property, as it is safely nestled in the imposing amphitheatre of the Franschhoek valley.

This Limited Release Cabernet is only made in exceptional years. A velvet textured wine which enfolds cassis fruit and pencil shaving nuance. Only the grapes from Block 1 Cabernet on La Bri (planted in 1999) are used for this classic Cabernet Sauvignon.
