NDV by Brash Higgins is a wine made in McLaren Vale, Australia with Nero d'Avola grapes.

Nero d'Avola is a native, drought resistant grape from Sicily, here made in Australia by Brash Higgins.

Using gentle, ancient techniques and naturally occurring wild yeasts. The grapes were destemmed then fermented wild and aged on skins and seeds for six months in locally made 200L bees-wax lined clay amphoras (aka clay pots).

“Lighter ruby in colour, with hints of black cherry, Indian spices and stem ginger. Orange peel also present which is usual in this wine. Reminiscent of a Negroni cocktail, angostura bitters and all. A pomegranate, bright dark raspberry and morello cherry mid-palate balanced by a refreshing sweet and sour red cherry acidity. The wine finishes with fine grained, chain link tannins as well as some savouriness. Decanting is always recommended for amphora wines”

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.
