Crafted by Andre and Selina Bondar, the wine reflects their signature style — combining texture, precision and freshness while avoiding excessive oak or heaviness. Produced from mature Bernard 76 clone vines rooted in shallow clay over limestone, it delivers both concentration and mineral drive in a distinctly elegant Adelaide Hills style. The nose is lifted and expressive, showing lime zest, white peach and nectarine layered with citrus blossom, almond meal and subtle flinty reduction. There are gentle notes of nougat, oatmeal and spice from wild fermentation in French oak and ceramic eggs, adding complexity while still allowing the cool-climate fruit purity to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is medium-bodied with a beautifully textural mouthfeel balanced by bright, natural acidity. Citrus and stone fruit flavours are supported by creamy lees texture, saline minerality and subtle struck-match complexity. The warmer 2024 vintage has given the wine a touch more generosity and depth compared to previous years, but the structure remains tight, energetic and precise. The finish is long, savoury and persistent, with impressive balance between richness and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best-value modern Australian Chardonnays in the market — combining Adelaide Hills freshness with genuine texture and complexity. Compared to richer, heavily oaked Chardonnay styles, Bondar leans toward a more restrained, mineral-driven expression while still offering plenty of flavour and generosity. The 2024 vintage is especially complete, with a little more plushness from the warmer season balanced beautifully by the vineyard’s natural acidity and limestone tension. It’s a fantastic option for lovers of contemporary Australian Chardonnay that sits somewhere between Yarra Valley finesse and classic Adelaide Hills energy. Enjoy now or cellar through 2032+ as it develops further nutty and savoury complexity. Excellent with roast chicken, lobster, creamy seafood dishes, grilled fish or soft cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eInfo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"846\" style=\"height: 117.563px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 157.688px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left; width: 386.312px;\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 157.688px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 386.312px;\"\u003eBondar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 157.688px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 386.312px;\"\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 157.688px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 386.312px;\"\u003eWhite Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 157.688px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; width: 386.312px;\"\u003e2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: center; width: 157.688px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSIZE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 19.5938px; text-align: left; width: 386.312px;\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bondar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51218517524795,"sku":"25561-750","price":42.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2024BondarAdelaideHillsChardonnay-WineMoreCellars.png?v=1778053394"}],"url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/collections\/bondar.oembed","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
