Hither & Yon is a modern expression of McLaren Vale, shaped by family heritage and a forward-thinking approach to wine. Founded by brothers Richard and Malcolm Leask, the brand is the evolution of a legacy that began in the 1980s, when their family first established vineyards in the region—laying the groundwork for what would become a deeply rooted, estate-driven philosophy.

Balancing tradition with innovation, the Leask brothers bring complementary strengths to the craft: Richard as the viticulturist and winemaker, grounded in the land; Malcolm as the creative and commercial force, shaping the brand’s identity and reach. What began as a small “bottle project” in 2011 has since grown into a distinctive voice in Australian wine—one that celebrates both classic varietals and adventurous, Mediterranean-inspired expressions suited to the region’s coastal climate.
