It is put together from 3 sites of primarily old vine Grenache on sandy soils. Around 1\/3 is from Bondar's own 50yo vineyard in Blewitt Springs, which is fermented at moderately higher temperatures in old oak, to build some weight and complexity. The rest is sourced from growers in the Vale and is fermented cool and crisp in tank, to add brightness and drive. The result is a beautifully dry and refreshing wine, but also slightly savoury and mineral, with plenty of food-friendliness to it.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca data-encoded-attr-charset=\"dXRmLTg=\" data-encoded-tag-value=\"\" data-encoded-tag-name=\"meta\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca data-encoded-attr-charset=\"dXRmLTg=\" data-encoded-tag-value=\"\" data-encoded-tag-name=\"meta\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Review:\u003cbr\u003e93 points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eA cheeky 15% Cinsault in the blend, along with Grenache.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic style, and all just so.
