Brash Higgins

Brash Higgins is the creative partnership of American sommelier Brad Hickey and McLaren Vale local Nicole Thorpe; a shared curiosity for the unconventional. Based on the organically certified Omensetter Vineyard, the wines reflect both personality and place. Try his hero wine, 'NDV', an amphora-aged Nero d'Avola, pure and delicate with soft waves of bright cherries.
