Hither & Yon Sand Road Grenache 2023 by Hither & Yon, McLaren Vale, is a bright, ruby‑hued Grenache that’s all about bistro vibes – vibrant red fruits, spice and savoury structure wrapped in easy, modern charm. This Sand Road Grenache shows rosehip, red cherry, blood plum and wild strawberry, with hints of cranberry, raspberry, dried thyme, sage and baking spice. Elevated acidity and fine, gritty tannins give it serious shape, while the juicy core keeps it gluggable and great value.

On the palate, 2023 Sand Road Grenache is medium‑bodied, fresh and pure, with cascades of red and black berries, a touch of dark chocolate and fruitcake richness, all pulled tight by chewy grip and clean acidity. It’s poised rather than sweet, finishing dry, spicy and peppery, with that lip‑smacking tannin profile that screams for food and makes another glass very tempting.

Food‑wise, this Hither & Yon Sand Road Grenache 2023 is made for charcuterie boards, fatty meats and bistro plates – think grilled lamb cutlets, pork belly, sausages or a rich beef and mushroom pie. It’ll also shine with wood‑fired pizza, roast vegetables, cheese pasties from your local bakery and hearty vegetarian dishes, perfect for cosy pub nights or relaxed long lunches with friends.
