About Hither & Yon Mclaren Vale 750mL Grenache Mataro
This McLaren Vale Grenache Mataro opens with an inviting bouquet of sun-warmed red fruits, dried herbs, and a whisper of earthy spice that speaks to the region's distinctive terroir. On the palate, juicy raspberry and red cherry are underpinned by savoury olive tapenade, cracked pepper, and a gentle garrigue character that adds complexity. The mouthfeel is supple and medium-bodied, with fine, silky tannins and a lively acidity that keeps everything fresh and harmonious.
