SHZ by Brash Higgins is a natural wine made in McLaren Vale, Australia with Syrah grapes, which is known as Shiraz in Australia, hence the name.

SHZ 2018 is a delicious Syrah drinking beautifully right now!

Brash Higgins state that "2018 in the Vale was a solid year, even after a very damaging hailstorm in November reduced the yield by 20%. The result of this hail haircut resulted in even more fruit intensity from the surviving grapes. Vinted from hand selected fruit, 20% whole bunch, and sent to open one ton fermenters for 3 weeks. Wild yeast did their job and then it all was gently basket pressed and sent to a mix of new and older French hogsheads for 20 months."

Expect notes of violets, mint, earthy soil, bramble fruit with a silky finish. Much lighter than expected for an Australian Syrah, but also not glouglou. Vibrant structure and finesse.

We ship every Wednesday. Order by Tuesday 10am.

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.
