Tasting Notes
This wine pours a pale straw colour, shimmering with clarity. On the nose, expect an expressive bouquet of honey, fresh straw, celery, lemon zest, and water chestnut, creating an aroma profile both refreshing and intriguing.
The palate begins with a soft, inviting entry, lifted by vibrant acidity. Layers unfold into a saline minerality with hints of oyster shell, giving a maritime freshness. The chalky texture and lemon-driven astringency enhance the wine’s tension, while the finish offers subtle whispers of licorice, adding complexity and depth.

| Winery | Brad’s lack of formal training has become an advantage, helping him to craft a range of wines that allow his experimental nature and pure instinct for the flavour to shine through. Hickey’s love of travel is also reflected in the labels, with the abbreviated grape names mimicking the international airport codes, which undoubtedly litter his well-travelled suitcases. Brash Higgins is a minimal intervention, organic winery and vineyard in South Australia's coastal McLaren Vale. Wild ferments, locally made clay amphora, and progressive blends are just a few of the items on the menu here. |
