Hither & Yon Tempranillo 2023 by Hither & Yon, McLaren Vale, is a juicy, mid‑weight red that feels like it’s built for tapas and long, relaxed dinners – vibrant dark fruits, spice and savoury charm in a super‑drinkable style. This Hither & Yon Tempranillo 2023 is a brilliant Iberian‑inspired Vale red.

In the glass, Tempranillo 2023 shows black cherry, plum and blackberry, with hints of redcurrant, cola, dried herbs, cocoa and gentle vanilla spice. Medium‑bodied and dry, it’s bright and fleshy with lively acidity, chalky yet supple tannins and a subtle earthy, leathery edge that keeps the fruit nicely in check, finishing clean, savoury and moreish.

Food‑wise, it’s spot‑on with chorizo, grilled lamb skewers, patatas bravas and chargrilled veg, plus pizza, burgers and smoky barbecue plates. It’s the perfect mid‑week red for share‑plate dining or casual nights in, offering plenty of flavour without feeling heavy or tiring in the glass.
