Tasting Notes
100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the organic estate Omensetter Vineyard planted in 1997. Floreal nose with a touch of sweet mint. Yet spicy black tea and liquorice. Dark fruited with black currant and plum notes. The palate is warm and long with plenty of fine tannins. -Miki B.
We adore the philosophy and expression of all the Brash Higgins wines. Each wine has a unique approach in order to reflect the parcel of fruit in different ways. There's a plethora of alternate fermentation vessels used to harbour the grapes that are picked at different ripeness levels. The result... a range of incredibly versatile and tactile wines from McLaren Vale.
Brash Higgins aka Brad Hickey was once a sommelier at some of the great restaurants around the world. Love had other plans for Brad though and he found himself in the sandy soils of McLaren Vale where Brash Higgins was born. The Brash Higgins home vineyard, Omensetter, is located between the Willunga Escarpment and the Gulf of Saint Vincent on an easterly aspect. Shiraz and Cabernet were originally planted here, but Brash has since added Nero d'Avola and the rare Chinese/Greek Crystal variety. The vineyard is planted on red-brown clay over limestone and benefits from the cooling influence of the southern ocean. The Omensetter vineyard is certified organic and all of the other vineyards Brash sources from also encompass this approach.
