{"product_id":"2025-bondar-violet-hour-shiraz","title":"2025 Bondar Violet Hour Shiraz","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Violet Hour was the very first wine Andre Bondar and Selina Kelly made, and it's still the one that best sums up what Bondar is about - McLaren Vale Shiraz built in a modern frame. Fresh, detailed and full of energy, without losing the generosity the region is loved for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all comes from their Rayner Vineyard in Seaview, where old vines sit on deep sand threaded with ironstone over limestone. The name comes from a harvest sunset out there, and the couple's aim has always been a wine that shows off the site rather than the winemaking. That means separate blocks handled on their own terms and a light hand with oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's pretty true to the house style in the 2025: bright red and blue fruit, a lick of spice and pepper, some floral lift and fine, supple tannins carrying it all through. It's full-bodied but never heavy. A beautifully balanced, site-driven Vale Shiraz, and one of the region's biggest bargains year in, year out. This is our all-time most popular Shiraz at Different Drop, and with good reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo.48 in Top 100 Wineries of 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The wines are elegant, savoury-leaning and meticulously made.
