About The Wine
The NYMPH is a crisp, edgy Rosé wine with a cheeky attitude.
This is 100% Nero d'Avola from Brad Hickey's home Omensetter vineyard in McLaren Vale. Texture and acidity deftly woven throughout the wine by Hickey, it's a Rosé with a little more under the hood.
It's a livewire, a whip crack of a wine. It's tight, nervy and a shows a zesty, finish with a bitter amaro twist that drags you back to the glass. Minute quantities available and all but sold out at Cellar Door.
Jump while you can.
About Brash Higgins
Brash Higgins is the label of winemaking American-turned-honorary-Aussie, Brad Hickey.
In his former life, Hickey was one of America's top sommeliers, working for many years crafting some of New York's finest wine lists. He came to Australia and fell in love with McLaren Vale and local vigneron Nicole Thorpe, with whom he now produces highly characterful, minimalist wines from their much loved Omensetter vineyard.
Hickey's wines are extremely expressive. They fall in two camps - the wines sourced from Omensetter vineyard and those sourced from friends around the Vale and the warm, dry Riverlands.
If you want 'classic' McLaren Vale, or if you want the true avant-garde, it's all available in the Brash Higgins range.

From The Producer
Made from Nero d’Avola picked at the right time off our Omensetter Vineyard. The handpicked grapes were pressed overnight with stems (aka whole bunch) to capture as much vineyard character, acidity and flavour as possible, but without the skin tannin typical of Nero. In the past we made this wine from Cinsault and Carignan, but decided it’d be fun to showcase part of our well-loved Nero d’Avola block. An ultra pale, coppery, cool wine is the result.

Critic Reviews
"Onion skin colour in appearance. The wine is dry yet exudes nectarine, hybrid-tea rose, cherry and ginger aromatics. Fresh notes of cut ginger, dried cherries flow onto the palate; bright acidity and a savoury, powdery finish pulls the wine together on the close."– Brad Hickey, Vinitor

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
