A long history

La Bri was one of the first of nine farms allotted to the Huguenots who found refuge in the Cape in 1688. The name "La Bri" probably comes from the French "l'abri" meaning "the refuge", a perfect name for this property nestled in the imposing amphitheatre of the Franschhoek Valley.

Originally the farm belonged to Jacob de Villiers, but in 1694 his son Jacques settled on the farm. He became a very successful farmer and later bought Boschendal from his brother Abraham. In 1712 Jacques was given the ownership of La Bri and over time the farm was divided into three parts, two of which were developed with farms.

In 1744 Pieter Eduard Haumann bought the farm, now called La Bri, after several owners had come and gone.
The manor house was probably built at that time and extended in 1862 to its present H-shape. It still has a strict gable with straight sides, typical of the last phase of Cape Dutch architecture. The name of the farm was later changed to Keurvlei. When Michael Trull bought the farm in the mid 1980's, he renamed it La Bri. Robin Hamilton purchased the farm in 1997. At that time the Franschhoek Co-operative was already producing wines from La Bri grapes. Gradually new vineyards were planted, 

Wines of passion and style

Since 2006, Irene de Fleuriot has been the winery's manager and winemaker, passionately creating wines with a distinctive style. In 2007, a new cellar was built, which works almost exclusively with gravity, i.e. pumping from tank to tank is largely avoided. The labels have been redesigned. The eye-catching labels feature indigenous Cape flowers and herbs, alluding to the symbiotic relationship between wine and fynbos that is so evident in the Cape. At La Bri, she is the first and last person on the estate at harvest time. A trained teacher, she studied and practiced viticulture and oenology in Australia and Stellenbosch before joining La Bri after many years with Graham Beck, from whom she also brought her passion for MCC. She also has a great love for Chardonnay and Shiraz, made in co-fermentation with Viognier. The Bordeaux varieties Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are also very important to her and can be found not only as single varietals but also in the Bordeaux cuvée Affinity. The culture of the winery is characterized by the involvement of all those involved, and all the employees in the tasting room take part in the tastings and blends of the winemaking team and pass on this knowledge to the visitors.

After the death of Robin Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. von Kuenheim bought the La Bri estate in June 2022.
