Monastrell is the Spanish name for Mourvèdre — a variety originally from Spain (Murcia and Valencia) and also celebrated in the southern Rhône (where it is called Mourvèdre) and Provence, producing wines of extraordinary dark fruit character, spice and distinctive savoury complexity. In McLaren Vale’s warm Mediterranean-like climate, Monastrell develops extraordinary depth, concentration and the distinctive dark fruit and spice character that makes it one of the most compelling alternative varieties in Australian winemaking. 94 points — outstanding recognition for a Monastrell of extraordinary McLaren Vale distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep ruby with excellent clarity and concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDark, spicy and expressively Mediterranean with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edark berries, spice and herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eviolet, pepper and subtle oak undertones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe distinctive savoury complexity and dark fruit character of great McLaren Vale Monastrell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedium to full-bodied with excellent structure and balance.\u003cbr\u003eExpect layers of:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblackberry, plum and dark cherry with hints of spice and herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea distinctive mineral backbone and the food-friendly character of great Monastrell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLong and satisfying with lingering dark fruit and spice complexity — the hallmark of great McLaren Vale Monastrell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWine Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monastrell (Mourvèdre)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e McLaren Vale, SA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bondar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFounders:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAndre Bondar and Selina Kelly\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16–18°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drink now – 2030+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled lamb with rosemary and garlic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow-braised game meats and venison\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich Mediterranean dishes with herbs and spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged hard cheeses and charcuterie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood-fired meats and BBQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is dark, spicy and deeply compelling — \u003cstrong\u003eBondar’s 2024 Monastrell\u003c\/strong\u003e, 95 points, McLaren Vale Monastrell of extraordinary character from \u003cspan\u003eAndre Bondar and Selina Kelly\u003c\/span\u003e.
