Bondar Junto Grenache Shiraz Mataro 750ml

Junto is Spanish for ‘together’, and in this case means a union of old friends: Grenache (73%), Shiraz (13%), Mataro (12%) and Carignan (2%). The Grenache is culled from three separate blocks: the lion’s share is from Bondar's own Rayner vineyard; there’s an old-vine proportion (80 years old) from a grower five kilometres away in McLaren Flat; and then the Trott Wilpena vineyard in Blewitt Springs contributed the balance. The Shiraz was 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 Carignan was drawn from young plantings in the Rayner vineyard.
