La Bri is a family-owned boutique estate in Franschhoek, Western Cape, rooted in a 1688 Huguenot land grant. With vineyards planted on the property, it produces small-volume, quality-focused wines under the direction of General Manager and Head Winemaker Irene de Fleuriot, who has overseen the estate since 2010. The hands-on, family-run character and long local history distinguish La Bri, while no specific organic or sustainability certifications are noted.
