Hither & Yon Malbec 2022 by Hither & Yon, McLaren Vale, is a plush, dark‑fruited red with a distinctly coastal freshness – think inky colour, vibrant fruit and a suave, modern edge that keeps every sip lively. This Hither & Yon Malbec 2022 feels built for hearty food and good company.

In the glass, Malbec 2022 brims with blackberry, blueberry and black cherry, over hints of violet, plum compote, cocoa, baking spice and a whisper of graphite and dried herbs. Medium‑plus bodied and dry, it’s silky up front with a juicy core, then firms up through fine, powdery tannins and a gently savoury finish that reins in the richness.

Food‑wise, it’s a natural with grilled steaks, burgers, lamb cutlets and beef ribs, as well as chargrilled sausages, empanadas and smoky barbecue plates. It also sings with rich pasta ragù, hard cheeses and hearty pub‑style fare – the kind of Malbec that turns a casual dinner into a bit of an occasion.
