Bondar Wines 'Junto' Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2024
PreviousWines taste best when shared with friends!
Junto is Spanish for ‘together’, and in this case means a union of old friends: Grenache (78%), Mataro (12%) and Shiraz (10%). The Grenache is sourced from two sites. The majority comes from Bondar’s Rayner Vineyard, with supplementary fruit from a deep, sandy site in Blewitt Springs. The Shiraz is also home-grown Rayner fruit (70-year-old vines on sand), while the Mataro–at its highest proportion ever in a Junto release, thanks to the warm conditions and outstanding quality–was sourced from the Lacey vineyard in the foothills of Willunga on the famed, rocky Kurrajong soils.
Best Value Winery - Halliday Wine Awards 2026
“A fresh and lively wine. Has something of a petrichor character, that thing when rain hits a hot road, which I like very much. I also associate it with ozone, which is the smell when a storm rolls in and lightning starts to strike. All that nonsense aside, it’s red fruited, cranberry and raspberry, a light spiciness with some gum leaf perfume. Medium-bodied, crisp and crunchy, some Spanish black olive lends a slightly metallic and savoury element, and it sports pepper dusted strawberry and orange peel on a finish of solid length. Light and frisky, but a nice wine. Easy to like.” 90pts | Gary Walsh | Wine Front
