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, 

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.
