Hither & Yon Touriga Tempranillo Blend, 2021

Australia, (McLaren Vale GI)

51% Touriga Nacional, 49% Tempranillo

14.0%

 

Sibling brothers at Hither & Yon bring us Australias first Carbon-Neutral winery and their Hither & Yon flair of wines to be proud of.

 

TASTING NOTES: Blackberry and cherry, dark chocolate and liquorice, sarsaparilla, and sage. Delicious berry fruits and juicy to start, inky and earth core, toasted slightly salted nuts, then ferrous with silty tannin. Not too tough, but a bit wild for sure: rich, and lavish for the medium body, the two varieties playing in unison, coastal and refreshing.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Beef, lamb, pork, venison, duck, steak, and roast lamb, as well as roasted vegetables, smoked peppers, and mole.
