The 2025 Hither & Yon Greco is a distinctive McLaren Vale Greco from South Australia, crafted by Hither & Yon from regeneratively farmed vineyards. Inspired by the ancient southern Italian variety, the fruit was fermented with wild yeasts, left on fine lees before maturation in large French oak puncheons, with a small portion undergoing malolactic fermentation to build texture while preserving freshness. The nose is aromatic and inviting with notes of yellow peach, honeysuckle and chamomile, complemented by hints of beeswax, citrus blossom and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a beautifully textured mouthfeel balanced by bright natural acidity. Flavours of ripe pear, kumquat and white stone fruit are layered with hints of ground cumin, dukkah, white pepper and a delicate saline minerality, finishing long with a touch of savoury complexity. Gentle lees ageing and restrained winemaking create a Greco that is fresh, expressive and full of character.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those looking to discover an exciting alternative white variety with texture, freshness and Mediterranean charm. Pair it with grilled prawns, roast chicken, fresh burrata, chargrilled vegetables or seafood pasta. Enjoy now while its vibrant fruit and lively acidity are at their best, or cellar for 3–5 years to develop additional savoury complexity.
