Hither & Yon Shiraz 2021 by Hither & Yon, McLaren Vale, is a dark‑purple, modern regional Shiraz that packs flavour, poise and refreshment – hearty in character yet bright and nicely balanced, with a cool‑fruited, maritime feel. This Hither & Yon Shiraz is a cracking, crowd‑pleasing red.

In the glass, Shiraz 2021 delivers blackberry, mulberry, blueberry and cassis, layered with red cherry, red liquorice, olive tapenade, choc‑mint biscuit, smoked meats, peppered fennel, leather and ironstone mineral notes. Medium‑plus to full‑bodied, it’s juicy, buoyant and pure, with ripe yet lithe tannins, sweet spice and toasty French oak shaping the plush fruit into a long, savoury, satisfying finish.

Food‑wise, it’s a natural with grilled steak, lamb chops, beef burgers, slow‑cooked brisket and venison, plus rich pasta ragù, barbecue ribs and hard cheeses. It’s equally at home at a winter pub dinner or backyard firepit session, offering all the generosity you expect from McLaren Vale Shiraz while keeping things fresh, modern and moreish in the glass.
