Bondar’s Violet Hour Shiraz embodies the winery’s vision of bright, pure, and finely structured wines where site and fruit shine above all else. Grown in the renowned Rayner Vineyard on the border of McLaren Vale’s Blewitt Springs and Seaview sub-regions, this vineyard’s sandy Pirramimma sandstone soils produce lighter, fragrant Shiraz with a distinct savoury character. The wine is crafted with minimal intervention—using organic practices, wild fermentation, whole bunches, and careful canopy management to preserve natural balance and freshness. This mid-weight Shiraz delivers lifted aromas of violet, blackberry, dark cherry, and savoury notes like tapenade and salted licorice, backed by spicy, peppery tannins and a complex, elegant palate. The Violet Hour is a standout example of McLaren Vale Shiraz, celebrated for its finesse and value.
