FRNC by Brash Higgins is a spicy narutal red wine made in McLarenVale with Cabernet Franc grapes.


WOW! this really surprised us in its green herbaciousness which was really pleasant, not something we often say for stemmy wines but here it really works!

From Brash Higgins. The idea for this Australian FRNC was to focus on the aromatics and delicacy of the fruit, making it a breeze to drink but still complex, age worthy.

External Review: “A translucent ruby/violet in colour. There is pepper, ashes, rose petals, mulberry; exactly what this vineyard smells like after a summer rain. Balanced, vibrant, medium bodied, the wine has a satiny, svelte mouth feel and a long smooth finish with grip.”

-Brad Hickey, Vinitor, October 20, 2020.

BRASH HIGGINS

NATURAL WINES BY BRASH HIGGINS

Brash Higgins is the project of Brad Hickey, a Chicago native who was head sommelier for David Bouley in New York before coming to McLaren Vale, South Australia, for a harvest in 2007. He stayed, and teamed up with vigneron Nicole Thorpe on her Omensetter Vineyard, planted in 1997 about 5 km from the Gulf St Vincent on mineral-rich clay and limestone. The name came from the local pruners: 'Brash' because all Yanks are, 'Higgins' after Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady, for his precise manner.

Brad grafted the district's first Nero d'Avola at Omensetter, and ferments it, along with Zibibbo, on skins for six months in 200-litre beeswax-lined amphorae, made from South Australian clay by Adelaide potter John Bennett. MATO is a wild, peppery Mataro, CHN a Chenin Blanc from the sandy soils of Blewitt Springs, and NDV and ZBO are the amphora wines.
