Most of the fruit comes from Andre and Selina Bondar’s Rayner vineyard, with a small portion of Grenache sourced from an old sandy site in Blewitt Springs.

Harvest was well-concluded by late March. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndre used a variety of techniques to build complexity and texture. The young-vine and grower Grenache alongside the Cinsault fermented at cool temperatures to preserve bright, primary characters. Then, for weight, texture and savoury character, the older-vine Grenache from the Rayner vineyard and the Mataro fermented at warm temperatures in old oak. The result is a pure, fresh, layered rosé packed with juicy red fruit flavour, chalky, pithy grip and a refreshingly long watermelon drenched close. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout Bondar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased in McLaren Vale, South Australia, Bondar is a small, independent family run winery by the husband and wife team of Andre and Selina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir wines are made in the vineyard and their success lies first and foremost in their approach to planting and vineyard management. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are wines of outstanding quality.
