Crafted with Brash Higgins' signature minimal intervention philosophy, the handpicked fruit is wild fermented with 20% whole bunches in small open fermenters before maturing for 10 months in seasoned French hogsheads. The exceptional 2024 vintage delivered wines of remarkable balance and finesse, and this Cinsault beautifully captures the variety's fragrant, energetic character. The nose is lifted and expressive, revealing black cherry, blood orange and raspberry layered with ginger, nutmeg, white pepper and delicate floral spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky, supple tannins and vibrant natural acidity that give the wine freshness and effortless drinkability. Juicy cherry and red berry fruit are complemented by subtle savoury herbs, gentle spice and a touch of earthy complexity, finishing long, clean and refreshingly vibrant. Elegant, juicy and wonderfully versatile, this is a contemporary Australian Cinsault that showcases purity, finesse and the bright, food-friendly style for which Brash Higgins is renowned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2024 Brash Higgins CINS Cinsault is a beautifully fragrant and approachable red that's equally enjoyable at cellar temperature or lightly chilled.
