Brothers Richard and Malcolm Leask started Hither & Yon in 2012. Interestingly each label depicts the ampersand from the name but with a different artist at work with every one. Though perhaps best known for their releases from rarer grapes and interesting blends – with which they excel, as we see and taste here, they also deliver excellent quality with familiar single varieties. This fine Cabernet Sauvignon a great example… lip-smackingly delicious with lamb chops.
“Mainly from the Hillenvale vineyard that edges from McLaren Vale into the Adelaide Hills, with about 18% off the home Sand Road vineyard. Matured in four- to five-year-old oak. Mulberry, currant, hedgerow, violet, cedar and iodine. Some classic regional cabernet things, but there’s also an ease of delivery, a sweep of texture and finely wrought tannins, with the drinkability factor high – not always the variety’s remit. It’s a calmly progressive take on the grape, and it works very well indeed. 92pts. Great Value” (Marcus Ellis, The Halliday Wine Companion)
