Tasting Notes
Violet Hour is made with fruit coming from one of the most esteemed vineyards in McLaren Vale, the Rayner Vineyard which was planted back in the mid 40s. This wine is one of the best examples of Australian medium bodied Shiraz combining the spectrum of black and blue fruits handled with grace and finesse. Subtle tannin and just the right amount of oak derived spice. - 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.
