Details
The ‘Petit Blanc’ is fragrant and fresh, a dry Moscato if you will, with fresh spring flowers in abundance, balanced by melon, guava and sherbert. The palate is very dry, which offers a misdirect from what the bouquet suggests, however this doesn’t stop it from being downright delicious.

Richard & Mal Leask are the winemaking brains (who also happen to be brothers) behind '10 years in the making overnight sensation' wine label Hither & Yon. They got to where they are today by sheer hard work and passion, as well as a focus on the fruit that makes the wine. In fact it's this zeal for great viticulture that probably shines brightest. With plenty of hard work, Scottish grit and determination, and a passion for modern winemaking, Richard and Malcolm managed to set up a unique winery which put flavour and fruit front and centre. They named their operation ‘Hither & Yon’, in reference to the annual game of hide-and-seek they believe they play with the landscape each harvest season. They’re always on the lookout for the corners of their vineyards which produce the most spectacular fruit, and which go on to lead to deeply characterful bottles of top-notch McLaren Vale wine. With a range of grape varietals to play with (including some unusual ones which are a welcome break from the norm in this wine region), these brothers are pushing the envelope for small-scale Aussie winemaking, and are doing it with a sustainable approach and a sense of fun that’s totally infectious.

Pairing guide
A great wine is always welcome at the dining table, and this beautiful bottle from Hither & Yon offers everything we love about this wine style and more. It’s a superb match for salads featuring grains like barley, couscous and buckwheat, Middle Eastern dishes bringing slow-cooked chicken together with preserved lemons, apricots and pomegranate, seared shellfish and barbecued pork. Great with roast poultry, delicious with cauliflower and similar vegetables, ideal with a risotto… what’s not to love?
