Bondar Wines Vestige Grenache 2021

JAMES HALLIDAY 97 POINTS!
SPECIAL RELEASE WINE - ONLY 30 DOZEN PRODUCED FROM A SINGLE BARREL

 


"A rare beast, and likely a one off. A 30 dozen production from a 100 year old patch of Grenache in the McLaren Flat. 


Rich, dark raspberry, nutty, some gum leaf and mint perfume, but so much power here. It’s distinctly minty and gum leafy, as is the way with many wines from this sub-region, but my word, the texture and old vine power here is superb. Raspberry, strawberry, spice, tastes like Cynar, or a delicious old school Amaro, with concrete dust tannin and superb length. Such presence and impact. Unreal. A superb and very different expression of McV Grenache! 95 Points.” - Wine Front

 

"Vestige: A trace or remnant of something that is disappearing or no longer exists... When a one-off opportunity arises to source grapes from ancient 100-year old bush vines growing in the deep sands of McLaren Flat, you take it. One barrel (30 dozen bottles) made." - Bondar
