Hither & Yon

Old Jarvie McLaren Vale Tempranillo

Seriously Hither & Yon you’ve got some damn fine wine and food pairings 🎤 *micdrop*

A big thanks for the sample to try guys 😘

While we were very enticed by the idea of matching this 2019 McLaren Vale Tempranillo with some Mexican food as recommended. We also loved your suggestion of: ‘chargrill some chorizo and halloumi on the bbq and eat straight off with a glass on hand.’

DELISH!

This vegan friendly wine really hit the spot with our bbq (ironic 🤣).

It’s very purple like in colour with a rather savoury nose intertwined with plums and cherry cola. While in the mouth it has a fantastic oomph for a temp, think juicy berries and cherries with a hearty backbone. It’s savoury but fruity. An intriguing wine and a fantastic match to the food 👌

Hitter & Yon are kindly offering you guys a special 20% off their range if you buy 3 or more bottles, so head over there stat guys 😉

This wine was sent to me as a sample, all opinions are my own.

Schloss Vollrads

Rheingau Riesling 2015

Casey @ Travelling Corkscrew

So we used up the last of my pre-prepared meals from the freezer this week 😫. I made a stash of meals before baby TC came along and now I wish I’d made more! One of my favourite meals to make bulk of is the butter chicken recipe from the @ripedeli cookbook. It’s delicious and reheats so well + it goes exceptionally well with Riesling 🤪

This @schloss.vollrads Estate 2015 Riesling is a semi-dry Riesling from the Rheingau region in Germany. It retails for approx $23/bottle.

Schloss Vollrads only grow Riesling and are masters at it. I find you can never go wrong with one of their Rieslings and this semi-dry one was absolutely perfect with our curry.

In the glass it’s an eye catching golden colour. Notes of candied lemon, juicy pears and white flowers rise up from the glass. While in the mouth it’s über fruity and bloody smashable if you ask me. Refreshing and perfectly balanced with fruit and acidity in perfect harmony 👌
