2023 Violet Hour Shiraz – McLaren Vale, Reimagined Named after the twilight skies that marked Bondar’s first Shiraz harvest, Violet Hour is a tribute to elegance, restraint, and the beauty of balance. Sourced from the iconic Rayner Vineyard, where Blewitt Springs’ sandy soils meet Seaview’s structure, this wine delivers the best of both sub-regions in one seamless expression.

Bright blue and red fruits lead the charge, supported by silky tannins and a lifted aromatic profile. Aged without heavy oak, it’s medium-bodied, vibrant, and unmistakably modern — a fresh take on McLaren Vale Shiraz that still honours its roots.

As Andre Bondar puts it: “Exactly what we want from Violet Hour.”
