Hither & Yon Aglianico 2012
Style: Medium-bodied red
Country: Australia
Region: McLaren Vale
Tasting note: This lesser known variety is typically grown in Southern Italy (Campania) where it makes a rich, velvety style red. This Aussie crack at the variety is a touch leaner than the better Italian examples but has those typical blueberry and white pepper notes on the nose with hints of cedar. Plum and savoury spice on the palate and finishes with grainy tannins.
Final Say: Can’t wait to see what Hither & Yon do with this variety in the future. $30 a bottle
Score: 15.5 out of 20
