Hither & Yon McLaren Vale Touriga 2018

Brothers Richard and Malcolm Leask wanted to focus on small single vineyard parcels, which change each year (hence, the Hither & Yon name) depending on the vintage and site. Richard manages all the vineyards and makes the wines, Malcolm handles production, sales and the historic cellar door. The labels feature the brand’s ampersand, created by a different artist for each wine. “Dry red style with leather and red cherry flavours doused lightly with dusty dried herbs and spices. There’s just enough firmness to the tannin and a good level of ripeness to the fruit. A wine of a confident producer ... 92pts” (Halliday).
