Brash Higgins Nero D'Avola 2022
DOZEN: $496.80 or $41.40 each
Fermented in amphora and on skins for six months with about 20% whole bunches. A deeply brooding expression of nero, this is bristling with savoury flavour: black plum skin, olive, dried black cherry, panforte, amaro, chicory root, tobacco, roasted hazelnut, bitter coffee. Time on skins has built a formidable wall of tannin, but what a pleasure it is, the chewy, mouth-filling impact of long extraction of natural tannin, pressed judiciously and at a mindful point. It’s an imposing, almost imperious wine, with alcohol creeping up, but it all makes such perfect sense. It’s an impressively individual take on the variety. Bravo. MARCUS ELLIS, Halliday Wine Companion
From the estate vineyard and appropriately made in amphora.
It’s soft, supple, it’s sweet with ripe cherry fruit, maraschino strong here too, pomegranate juice. Red berry ahoy! It’s attractive and slurpy, perhaps a bit of a hole in the middle of the wine but a joyous expression with ripeness and concentration on hand. That being said, pretty elementary, straightforward, albeit easy to get stuck into and appreciate. A bundle of fun. MIKE BENNIE, The Wine Front
