Bondar Rose 2025

$26.00

Now all home Rayner vineyard fruit, with grenache (90%) off vines planted in 1970, with some from ’19 and ’17. The other 10% is an even split of cinsault and mataro, with the latter seeing older oak. This is as good as any rosé from this address, and that’s saying a lot, with the bar set so high. Rose gold leaning into onion skin in appearance, with notes of redcurrant, wild cherry, orange peel, pink grapefruit, watermelon and musk. No confection here. No estery blur – just exceptional fruit and a masterfully refined blend. It’s properly dry, expansive though supremely elegant, long through the palate, slightly chalky, pithy, vibrant. Once again, stunning. 96 points – Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion

Producer Profile

Family-owned and operated, Bondar crafts superb wines from their preferred sites across McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills. At the heart of the estate is the Rayner Vineyard, where vine plantings date back to the 1950s, predominantly Shiraz and Grenache.

These are, first and foremost, wines made for drinking – generous, inviting, and effortlessly enjoyable. But there’s real depth here too: fragrant, silky, and savoury, with a quiet complexity that keeps you coming back.

Bondar is that rare producer that nails it all – flavour, texture, and feel – in equal measure.
