Take a walk through the forest from the comfort of your couch with this fruit-forward GSM, opening with soft aromatics of wild strawberries and ripe cherries. This continues through to the palate with even more dark berries and boysenberry mingling with sweet spices, a pinch of salinity, and a lovely, fresh acidity.
Grenache and Mataro was sourced from Bondar's Rayner Vineyard, while the Shiraz comes from a neighbouring site; a little Carignan adds a subtle spice to the blend. All fruit was destemmed and fermented in old oak.

Who is Bondar?
Bondar wines began in March 2012, when Andre and Selina Bondar hand-picked (with some help from family and friends) a couple of tonnes of Shiraz grapes for their first ever wine. A year later, they bought the historical Rayner Vineyard in McLaren Vale.
Andre started his winemaking journey in 2001 with vintages around Australia and the world, including Domaine Allain Graillot in the Northern Rhone region. He spent most of his career at Nepenthe in the Adelaide Hills and after a couple of years at Mitolo, he decided to create Bondar. Selina started her career as a lawyer before a tree change led her a role as Marketing Manager for Yangarra and the new Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard label, and time at Hentley Farm in the Barossa.
They aim to make wines that are light, bright, savoury, structured and intriguing. In 2017, they were named James Halliday's Best New Winery and were named in the Top 50 Young Guns of Wine in 2018 and 2020.
