James Halliday Best Value Winery 2026

The winery is smack bang in a middle of a purple patch.  They're a new winery and they've started with off on the right note.  In the Halliday Wine Companion 2017, Bondar was awarded Best New Winery.  They followed that up by taking out Best Shiraz and Best Single-Vineyard Shiraz at the McLaren Vale Wine Show. 

Raised only in older oak and bottled unfiltered, the mainlines the essence of the Rayner vineyard with lifted purple flowers, liquorice and cracked pepper aromas swarming around a core of finely pitched red and black fruits. Textured and gently voluptuous, intense black cherry fruit flavours are supported by fresh acidity, fine tannins and a long, salty finish. As always, this is a very happy marriage between great quality and great value.
