Brash Higgins, RIPPLE, 2021
DESCRIPTION
Here's a carbonic maceration like no other. Imagine whole bunch Nero d'Avola grapes submerged by direct pressed Cabernet Sauvignon juice. Sounds interesting, right? The bouquet is an aromatic journey of sweet blueberries and candied wild strawberries, with just a smidge of mint. The palate is rich and juicy, with just enough tannins to keep the whole thing right and tight. This wine is the perfect match for spicy foods or a vegetable tagine.
REGION
McLaren Vale
Australia

Cabernet Sauvignon is another prominent grape variety, along with Grenache and Mourvedre which, together with Shiraz, make up some of the most acclaimed GSM blends here. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate McLaren Vale's white grape varieties, with a plethora of other regional and international specialties such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.
