Tasting Notes
Zibibbo is an ancient, aromatic white grape from the Muscat family grown in the warmth of the Mediterranean and South Australia. From fruit grown at Ricca Terra Farms in the sunny Riverland, the varietal was chosen for its potential to develop length and complexity from longer skin contact, the wine is fruity yet bone dry; reminiscent of something from Alice in Wonderland, where things aren't always as they seem. - Brash Higgins
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.
