Bondar Junto GSM 2025
DOZEN: $384.00 or $32.00 each
72/13/8/7% grenache (Rayner site and the Trott Vineyard)/mataro (Willunga)/shiraz (Rayner)/counoise (Rayner). There’s some bunch in the grenache, and the wine was raised in 1700–2700L vats. The medium-weighted, accessible, everyday drinking red from Bondar, a wine made to fit the climate and culture of the region. And this nails it, again. Red fruits, pomegranate, cranberry, tart raspberry, rose petals, a background of dried herbs and spice. But it’s no disposable vin de soif, so informed it is by fine tannic detail, crunchy acidity and lingering flavour resonance. Such a beautiful thing. (95) MARCUS ELLIS, Halliday Wine Companion
I tasted this informally at the (very nice) Bondar cellar door back in January, and I liked it then. This is Grenache (73%), Mataro (12%), Shiraz (8%) and Counoise (7%).
Raspberry, spice, some floral notes and dried herb. It’s medium-bodied, a fresh and juicy wine, red fruits with something of a nutty character, a light grip to tannin, a little smudgy on the finish (in a nice sort of way mind you), a subtle aniseed and herb flavour closes it out. Pretty good length too. A nice drink we have here. Easy to enjoy. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front
