The wine aged for 12 months in two- and three-year-old French oak before a further six months aging in large, old foudres. As you might expect, the Ryaner is deeper, more structured, and more age-worthy than Bondar’s Violet Hour and Midnight Hours wines. The restrained use of oak and inclusion of 90% whole bunches ensure this wine shows a freshness to complement the old-vine intensity. Another stunning McLaren Vale Shiraz from Bondar that is already attracting plenty of attention.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__note\"\u003e“96 Points, Andre Bondar is never going to pursue rich styles, but this bottling usually has a little more supple generosity. That’s still true here, with a sultry feel to the dark-fruited nose in blackberry, boysenberry and black cherry, and to the silky, saline palate. There’s also a malty, tarry note, master stock, kelp, violets and iron. The cool year, the third in a row, plays into the house credo, balancing fruit depth and intensity with pep and floral lift. It’s a very good release.”- Marcus Ellis, The Halliday Wine Companion.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bondar","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottles","offer_id":56951751278752,"sku":"$44.90","price":269.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Bottles","offer_id":56951751311520,"sku":"$44.90","price":538.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0414\/3464\/4640\/files\/BondarRaynerShiraz.png?v=1776986894","url":"https:\/\/auscellardoor.com.au\/products\/bondar-rayner-shiraz","provider":"AusCellardoor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
