BRASH HIGGINS

Brash Higgins is one of Australia's most innovative boutique wineries, founded by Californian-born winemaker Brad Hickey. Based in McLaren Vale, South Australia, the winery has gained an international reputation for producing distinctive, minimal intervention wines that showcase Mediterranean grape varieties perfectly suited to Australia's climate. Since its first vintage in 2007, Brash Higgins has become a benchmark producer for modern Australian wine, combining creativity with a deep respect for vineyard expression.

Drawing inspiration from both European and Californian winemaking traditions, Brad Hickey works with carefully selected vineyards throughout McLaren Vale, focusing on sustainable farming and low-yielding sites. The region's Mediterranean climate, cooling sea breezes, and diverse soils provide ideal conditions for producing wines with concentration, freshness, and balance.

Brash Higgins is particularly renowned for its Nero d'Avola, Grenache, Shiraz, and Sangiovese, alongside distinctive whites including Zibibbo, Fiano, and Vermentino. The winery has played a significant role in popularising Mediterranean grape varieties in Australia, demonstrating their suitability to warm-climate viticulture. The red wines offer vibrant aromas of blackberry, cherry, plum, herbs, spice, and savoury earthiness, while the whites display expressive citrus, floral, stone fruit, and saline mineral characters.

Minimal intervention is central to the winery's philosophy. Hand harvesting, wild yeast fermentation, gentle extraction, and restrained use of oak allow each wine to express its vineyard origin with clarity and authenticity. Brash Higgins is also known for experimenting with traditional techniques, including amphora fermentation inspired by ancient Georgian and Mediterranean winemaking.

The winery has received widespread acclaim from leading wine critics and international publications, earning a reputation for originality, precision, and exceptional quality. Its wines are highly regarded by sommeliers and collectors seeking fresh, terroir-driven Australian wines with a distinctive personality.

Today, Brash Higgins stands among Australia's leading contemporary producers, crafting wines that combine innovation, sustainability, and outstanding regional expression while redefining the possibilities of McLaren Vale.
