Bondar Higher Springs Grenache 2022 (6 Bottles) McLaren Vale,
$415.00 GST Included
AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED
Sometimes when you walk into a vineyard that is this beautiful, you can’t help but think that it must make amazing wine. This fruit is from Sue Trott’s Wilpena vineyard. It’s in the heart of Blewitt Springs. The vines were planted in 1952 and are dry grown on deep sand. It faces quite steeply east, not a very common thing in McLaren Vale, so misses out on a lot of late afternoon (hot) sun.
Hand-picked fruit, aged in old French oak for 10 months, and hand-bottled with no fining, filtration or additions apart from a small amount of Sulphur to keep the wine fresh.
This is a 60 dozen production make, made from a vineyard in Blewitt Springs, planted in 1952.
Mint, menthol, ripe raspberry, aniseed and new leather. Medium-bodied, savoury sage-laced new leather flavour, lots of sandy grip to tannin, a cool feel, thyme and dried herbs, assertive dry tannin on a sticky dried herb finish of excellent length. Pretty firm and coiled up, with a chicory and black tea taste to close. Very good.

About Bondar
We are a little family wine company making wines from our favourite regions McLaren vale and Adelaide Hills. Our home is the iconic Rayner Vineyard in McLaren Vale. We want to make wines that are lighter, brighter, more savoury, structured and intriguing. Different.
Over the last few years since we started this endeavour we have been honoured to be named James Halliday’s Best New Winery in his 2017 Australian Wine Companion, to have won multiple trophies at the McLaren Vale Wine Shows we have entered, and to have been named one of the Top 50 Young Guns of Wine in 2018 and 2020.
On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
