Bondar Wines – McLaren Vale

Bondar Wines is one of the most exciting names in modern McLaren Vale — wines that capture everything great about the region while completely rewriting the rulebook.

Founded by Andre Bondar and Selina Kelly, Bondar has built an extraordinary reputation for wines of purity, perfume, freshness and finesse. This is McLaren Vale without the heaviness — beautifully detailed wines that favour elegance, energy and drinkability while still delivering the depth and intensity that makes the region famous.

At the heart of Bondar is the remarkable Rayner Vineyard, tucked into the hills between Blewitt Springs and Seaview. Its old vines, elevation and diverse soils provide the foundation for some seriously compelling wines, with Shiraz and Grenache particularly brilliant expressions of place.

Andre Bondar's winemaking is thoughtful and restrained. Rather than chasing sheer power, the wines are about texture, fragrance, balance and vineyard character. Oak sits in the background, fruit remains vibrant and every bottle feels alive. They're the sort of wines that become more interesting with every glass.

And the critics have taken notice. Bondar has developed a formidable reputation in a relatively short period, becoming one of the producers helping define the new generation of McLaren Vale.

From beautifully aromatic Grenache and sophisticated Shiraz to vibrant whites, Bondar delivers wines that combine serious quality with sheer drinking pleasure.

If you think you know McLaren Vale, Bondar is a producer you need to taste.
