Hither & Yon have made a perfect wine for when you are feeling moody and need something just as dark. A deep and brooding wine, filled with spicy tones, deep, jet black cherries and ripe plums. The spice is the real driver in this wine, throwing up scented notes of cloves and baking spice with coffee and pepper. The wine is dark and chewy with plenty of tannins that need some food that is equally as moody.

Richard & Mal Leask are the winemaking brains (who also happen to be brothers) behind '10 years in the making overnight sensation' wine label Hither & Yon. They got to where they are today by sheer hard work and passion, as well as a focus on the fruit that makes the wine. In fact it's this zeal for great viticulture that probably shines brightest. With plenty of hard work, Scottish grit and determination, and a passion for modern winemaking, Richard and Malcolm managed to set up a unique winery which put flavour and fruit front and centre. They named their operation ‘Hither & Yon’, in reference to the annual game of hide-and-seek they believe they play with the landscape each harvest season. They’re always on the lookout for the corners of their vineyards which produce the most spectacular fruit, and which go on to lead to deeply characterful bottles of top-notch McLaren Vale wine. With a range of grape varietals to play with (including some unusual ones which are a welcome break from the norm in this wine region), these brothers are pushing the envelope for small-scale Aussie winemaking, and are doing it with a sustainable approach and a sense of fun that’s totally infectious.
