The 2022 Hither & Yon Grenache Touriga is a vibrant McLaren Vale red blend from South Australia, crafted by Hither & Yon from Grenache and Touriga Nacional. Produced in a fresh, fruit-driven style, it highlights the bright red fruit of Grenache alongside the floral perfume and structure of Touriga. The nose is lifted and expressive with aromas of ripe red berries, black cherry and rose petals, complemented by notes of root spices, liquorice and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, layered texture, supple tannins and refreshing natural acidity. Flavours of raspberry, red cherry and dark berries are intertwined with hints of Mediterranean herbs, spice and earthy savouriness, leading to a long, balanced finish. The Touriga Nacional adds depth and structure, while the Grenache keeps the wine bright, juicy and highly approachable, making it an excellent food-friendly red.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking a modern McLaren Vale blend with vibrant fruit, floral lift and savoury complexity. Pair it with tomato-based pasta, grilled lamb, wood-fired pizza, charcuterie or Mediterranean-style roasted vegetables. Enjoy now for its youthful energy, or cellar for 3–5 years to develop additional savoury depth and spice.
