Hither & Yon Leask Grenache 2020 by Hither & Yon, McLaren Vale, is a flagship, old‑vine Grenache from 1940s bush‑trained vines – a botanical, elegant red that marries perfume, power and poise in classic Vale fashion. This Hither & Yon Leask Grenache 2020 is both serious and utterly seductive.wine.

In the glass, Leask Grenache 2020 opens with wildflower, musk, juniper and red berries, drifting into rose petal, cherry and raspberry, then blood orange, tangerine, mint and clove. The palate is bold yet succulent, with dark plum, black cherry, earth, black pepper and spice wrapped in fine sandy tannins, finishing savoury, earthy and long, with a peppery lift.

Food‑wise, it’s a dream with Peking‑style duck and mandarin pancakes, roast duck, chargrilled quail and game birds, as well as slow‑roasted pork, porcini risotto and richly spiced Mediterranean veg. It’s the sort of Leask Grenache you bring out for special dinners – a showpiece bottle that still drinks beautifully with good friends around the table.
