The Rayner Vineyard is Bondar’s home block — a specific named vineyard site of extraordinary character, where a tiny pocket of old vines produces Grenache of exceptional concentration, brightness and distinctive site character. Old vines produce fruit with characteristics impossible to replicate from younger plantings — deep root systems, low yields and the extraordinary concentration and complexity that comes from decades of vine maturity.
