{"product_id":"2025-bondar-adelaide-hills-chardonnay","title":"2025 Bondar Adelaide Hills Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp\u003eAndre Bondar’s love for Adelaide Hills Chardonnay goes back to his early winemaking days at Nepenthe, and his 2025 Adelaide Hills Chardonnay proves he hasn’t lost his touch. Sourced from a cool, high-altitude (400m ASL) single vineyard in Echunga, the fruit was hand-picked and lightly pressed straight to a mix of French oak barrels (around 25% new) and ceramic eggs for a natural, wild fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warmer 2025 vintage has played beautifully into this wine's hands, lending a lovely plushness and oomph to the mid-palate without sacrificing its cool-climate line. Spending ten months on lees with zero sulfur added until bottling, it has emerged as a gorgeous, textural package. It manages to balance a core of bright citrus and white stone fruit with a creamy, structured weight that makes it punch well above its price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndre might be famous for his McLaren Vale reds, but this release proves he’s just as skilled with premium white Burgundy varieties. For our money, this is comfortably one of the best premium\/value Chardonnay buys in South Australia this year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bondar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44121889046571,"sku":"2025 Bondar Adelaide Hills Chardonnay","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2024BondarAdelaideHillsChardonnay_31155023-9d90-4817-b5b3-009ab3ff3aa4.webp?v=1758081969","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-bondar-adelaide-hills-chardonnay","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
