Bondar Fiano 2025

Mainly from Ben Lacey’s Branson Road vineyard in Tatachilla, supplemented with fruit from the Minchella family, also in Tatachilla. Predominant steel ferment, with some older oak and amphora, then blended and raised in steel for four months. The ’24 was the best Bondar fiano I have seen, and this sits squarely beside it. Golden apple and corella pear, sea spray and air-dried linen, lemon balm, orchard blossom – so lively and energetic for a warm and dry year. Again, texture, pithy detail and vigorous but supremely harmonious acid tension wrap up the story. Great drinking here. 95 points – Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion
