BONDAR
Bondar Wines is a boutique winery located in McLaren Vale, South Australia, known for producing refined and site-driven wines with a focus on balance and drinkability. Founded by husband-and-wife team Andre Bondar and Selina Kelly, the winery represents a modern approach to South Australian winemaking.
McLaren Vale benefits from a Mediterranean climate with cooling influences from the nearby coast, allowing grapes to ripen fully while retaining freshness and natural acidity. The region’s diverse soils contribute to wines with depth, texture, and complexity.
Bondar is particularly recognized for Grenache and Shiraz, crafted in a more elegant and restrained style compared to traditional full-bodied South Australian reds. The wines often show vibrant red and dark fruit, spice, floral notes, and fine tannins, emphasizing purity and regional expression over heaviness.
As a leading new-generation producer in McLaren Vale, Bondar Wines offers contemporary Australian wines that combine precision, freshness, and strong terroir identity.
