2025 Brash Higgins ZBO Zibbibo

Brad Hickey's love for the weird and wonderful in the world of wine seems to know no bounds. And his ZBO (short for Zibibbo) is as weird and wonderful as they come.

For those unfamiliar with Zibibbo, it is an ancient member of the muscat family, originating in the Mediterranean which has found a new home in South Australia. The fruit for this is sourced from Ricca Terra Farms in the warm and sunny Riverland.

 But what really distinguishes this wine is the winemaking behind it: the giant golf ball sized berries are hand-picked and destemmed into 200L clay amphorae eggs where the wine sits on skins for 150 days.

It's a cloudy, unique wine, but incredibly well executed.
