The Grenache leads the blend with its pretty red fruits and perfume, and the other varieties help to 'complete' the wine, elevating it to a more complex and balanced place. The Mataro gives savoury spice and structure, and the Shiraz adds juicy flesh. The wine is aged entirely in old French oak hogsheads to allow gentle micro-oxygenation without contributing any overt oak flavour. Grenache (78%), Mataro (12%), Shiraz (10%). - Bondar, Winery. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bondar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46353409442045,"sku":"24982","price":33.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/6754\/4640\/files\/Winona-Wine-Bondar-2024-Junto-GSM-Bondar-Wine.png?v=1775722137"},{"product_id":"bondar-2025-fiano","title":"Bondar - 2025 Fiano","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Fiano grown in McLaren Vale is prized for its thick skins and high natural acidity. Andre and Selina sourced the fruit from two sites run by the talented Ben Lacey: Lacey Branson Road site in Tatachilla and Lacey HQ block on Olivers Road. Due to its proximity to the sea, Branson block maintains relatively cool temperatures in the warm summer months. The soils are grey-brown loam over limestone, and the thick-skinned fruit holds its natural acidity well. The Olivers Road block faces north with higher summer temperatures and rich red loam soils over limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicked in mid-February, the grapes were gently pressed to draw out texture from the skins. Fermented in tank with 10% in old oak, the parcels were blended and bottled young to preserve freshness. In Andre Bondar’s words: “it’s fine and fresh, not neutral or boring.” Expect orchard blossom and herbs on the nose, a salty mineral line, and a pithy, textural finish. - Bondar, Winery. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bondar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46766292009213,"sku":"25548","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/6754\/4640\/files\/Winona-Wine-Bondar-2025-Fiano-Bondar-Wine.png?v=1777621461"},{"product_id":"bondar-2024-nero-davola","title":"Bondar - 2024 Nero d'Avola","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis year, Andre Bondar sourced Nero d’Avola from two vineyards. Andre has been working with one of the sites for years, located in the Sellicks Foothills subregion behind Willunga, where the soil is rocky alluvial clay. Here, the vines sit at 100 metres, face west and give fruit with high-toned aromatics and soft, red berry character. The second site is located near Tatachilla, between Andre and Selina’s McLaren Vale home and the sea. This site's soil is black Biscay clay and gives a contrasting profile, with more density, darkness and structure. Being a warmer site, Tatachilla was picked first, followed three weeks later by Willunga. The Tatachilla fruit was destemmed and fermented for 12 days, while the Willunga fruit fermented as bunches for two weeks. Blending and bottling occurred in September. Now in its sixth year, Andre Bondar continues to craft a youthful and fresh Nero that exudes youthful splendour. True to the season, the 2024 Nero is a cool, fresh, brightly flavoured wine with all the berry fruits, spice and earthy flavours inherent to the variety, backed up by lively acidity and a delicious savoury close.
