Only 305 cases of this wine were made from shiraz grown at the Omensetter Vineyard. Vinted from hand selected fruit, the grapes were basket pressed and matured for two years in fine French hogsheads before bottling.

'A luminous aubergine in colour, the nose of the Brash 09 SHZ has black plums, blood orange zest, lavender florals, nutmeg and white pepper, and a sweet earthy note that is typical of Omensetter Vineyard's red clay. The palate is generous, well-balanced and smooth, the tannins integrated, and the finish long with complex, interweaving berry and spice notes.' - Brad Hickey, Vinitor, 01 May 2011.

Brash Higgins SHZ was chosen as part of McLaren Vale Scarce Earth, a project to celebrate single block shiraz from the region, wines which reflect a sense of place and express their true fruit character.
