Details
A wildly drinkable rosé made from southern Italian grape variety Aglianico, known for its power. Dry and a touch salty, with refreshing flavours of grapefruit, orange peel and white peach, it has grip & confidence. A wine you won't come across often, so when you do, you've got to ride it!
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. Here at GPD, we love what they do. So much so, we decided to team up with them and make a few wines that are perfect for the warm weather. After all, the McLaren Vale is pretty warm. So rather than the standard bruising, heavy duty red, we've got a few eminently sippable freshies. Fruit forward, fun and fantastic drinking.

Pairing guide
Who doesn’t love a great bottle of rose wine when the sun’s shining? We definitely do, and this blushing bottle from Wave of the Day ticks all the right boxes when it comes to freshness and flavour, making it an excellent food pairing choice for a wide array of tasty dishes. We love this wine with simple pasta dishes, crisp salads, grilled fish, and chicken breast, and it’s also a great choice for homemade pies and pastries, shrimp in garlic butter, and grilled cheese sandwiches, too!
