“The wines coming off the estate vineyard are, in the Bondar way, fragrant, vibrant, subtly detailed and pitched more towards poise than power, but at no loss to intensity. Bondar also source from the Adelaide Hills and various sites in the Vale, including two new premium additions from distinguished sites in Clarendon and Blewitt Springs. From rosé through to zenith red bottlings, it is impossible to err when buying any of the Bondar wines.” The Halliday Wine Companion Top 100 Wineries 2024
The fruit for the Midnight Hour Shiraz is sourced from two blocks in Andre Bondar and Selina Kelly's own Rayner Vineyard. Planted in 1960 and 1990 on the Seaview side of the vineyard on red/brown clay over limestone, these vines are farmed using organic principles and without irrigation where possible. The soil type and age of the vines result in smaller, more open canopies that allow for lots of sunlight to reach the developing bunches. This in turn ensures that stems used in the fermentation are lignified, furthering the complexity in the finished wine.
