Tasting Notes
This is a very well made Chardonnay from a special site in the Adelaide Hills. The wine gets the full treatment here too. 100% malo, left on full solids and aged in a mixture of old and 25% new oak so you get hints of oak character and spice coming through to compliment the wine without obscuring the fruit. The wine balances intensity and depth with power whilst not coming off as rich or dense. There is a mild roasted nut character to it, with a touch of white florals, harder orchard fruits with just the right amount of acidity to keep it nice and taut. - Pete L
Andre Bondar is at the helm of his family's vineyard and making some of the most expressive wines out of South Australia. The Bondar home vineyard is called Rayner and is located in the hills of McLaren Vale where the sub-regions of Blewitt Springs and Seaview meet. This organically farmed vineyard planted on the famous sands of the region is mostly made up of Shiraz and Grenache, with a spattering of Counoise, Mataro, Carignan, Cinsault, Touriga Nacional and Sagrantino. The red wines are generally mid-weight, gloriously perfumed and finely structured. Bondar also sources fruit from other vineyards in McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills.
