Fermentation: All the fruit was wild-fermented with approximately 20% whole-bunches.
Ageing: Aged eight months in old oak.
Vineyard & Vine Age: The Grenache is culled from three separate blocks: the lion’s share is from Bondar's own Rayner Vineyard with the balance coming from the Trott Wilpena and Slattery Vineyards in Blewitt Springs. The Shiraz is also home-grown Rayner fruit (70-year-old vines on sand), while the Mataro was sourced from a grower in the foothills of Willunga on the famed Kurrajong soils. The tiny addition of Cinsaut was drawn from young plantings in the Rayner vineyard. Hand-harvested. Organic conversion.
