Bondar Wines 'Junto' GSM 2018

Bondar Wines 'Junto' GSM 2018Such a wonderful red wine. So more ish, so brightly flavoured and so easy to drink. A traditional southern French blend of Grenache (70%), Shiraz (20%) and Mataro (9%) with just a tiny touch of Counoise dropped in the mix (lets call it 1%). Sourced from old vines, picked by hand, the fruit was gently handled in the winery and aged in old French oak. Bondar tend to pick as early as they can for this wine so that they can create a very fresh, bright

Such a wonderful red wine. So more-ish, so brightly flavoured and so easy to drink. A traditional southern French blend of Grenache (70%), Shiraz (20%) and Mataro (9%) with just a tiny touch of Counoise dropped in the mix (let’s call it 1%). Sourced from old vines, picked by hand, the fruit was gently handled in the winery and aged in old French oak. Bondar tend to pick as early as they can for this wine so that they can create a very fresh, bright wine, with red fruits and lovely herbal characters. There’s a life to the palate, a nerve, a tension as well which elevates the intentionally light palate to a more serious place. The blend is put together with the idea that Grenache really is the hero, with Shiraz adding supporting flesh and the Mataro spice and structure/tannin. You'll try one bottle and you're almost certain to buy more. So good.
