Product Notes

The Brash Higgins FRNC Cabernet Franc is an epitome of brilliance from Australian winemaking. This intriguing wine flaunts an inviting crimson hue and a vibrant bouquet of ripe blackberries and forest floor. With a sip, it unveils distinct layers of dark plum, cassis, and sundry spices, harmoniously woven amidst delicate, silken tannins. The wine reveals an elegant wood profile, owing to its maturation in French Oak Barrels. This medium-bodied Cabernet Franc is beautifully balanced, proffering a surprisingly long, fruity finish. Excellent for a cosy evening, it's a testament to the artistry of winemaking down under.

Tasting Notes

A translucent ruby/violet in colour. The nose is lifted, aromatic, complex with jalapeno chilli and a roasted, sweet charred green capsicum nose, violet leaf. There is pepper, cedar, ashes, rose petals, earthy fragrances like piles of leaves in autumn, 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

About the Winery

Brash Higgins

Located in the heart of South Australia's beautiful McLaren Vale, Brash Higgins winery is a conglomerate of sanguine romanticism, exquisite craftmanship, and unyielding passion for quality viticulture. The wonderful winery is the culmination of hard work, dedication, and a keen understanding of the land it stands on. Home to a robust collection of lusciously rich, diverse wines, Brash Higgins is truly an ode to Australia’s remarkable wine-making heritage.

The winery was established by Brad Hickey, an ambitious and visionary Chicago native. Brad, affectionally known as ‘Brash Higgins’ after the twists and turns of his journey towards winemaking, has established himself as a true pioneer in the industry. With the help of his partner Nicole, Brad has flawlessly blended tradition with innovation; creating an offering which is inherently Australian, yet distinctively their own.

At Brash Higgins, every bottle tells a story, each one a true testament to the meticulous care and precision that goes into crafting each vintage. Traditional winemaking techniques are married with a love for experimentation, resulting in unrivalled uniqueness found in each of their offerings. Wines are handpicked, basket pressed, and matured in French oak barrels, a testament to Brash Higgins’ commitment to authenticity. Yet his daring spirit is evident in the use of amphora pots for fermenting specific grape varietals, demonstrating a willingness to push the boundaries of convention.

The acreage of the winery is draped with flourishing vineyards that flourish in the region's favourable Mediterranean climate. These abundant vines yield an array of distinctive grape varietals, such as the Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, and the lesser-known Nero d'Avola. The latter specially cultivated and nurtured to produce an intensely flavoured, deeply coloured, and wildly popular wine offering,

Over the past decade, Brash Higgins has ascended in the ranks to become one of Australia’s most sought-after boutique wineries. The authenticity of their wines, the warmth of their welcome, and the passion behind each bottle have ensured this Aussie gem continues to sparkle on the global vineyard stage.
