It’s an elevated, relatively cool site and certified biodynamic. This was fermented mostly as whole bunches, with a long élevage of almost two years in an old, thick-walled demi-muid. Yes, just one, with 600 bottles produced. Dark plum, blackberry, concentrated yet savoury raspberry and preserved sour cherry, wild-fruited, agreeably tart in profile. There’s a compactness here, a finely packed spiciness, a graphitic and almost granitic mineral quality, dried herbs, tobacco and a twiggy snap in the background. Refinement reigns, like the grenache in the range, with time the key, though abundant air reveals layer after layer of subtle detail. A wine of real cellar potential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Marcus Ellis. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bondar Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45417452798012,"sku":"HSEsh","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4253\/9580\/files\/Bondar_Hope_Springs_Eternal_Shiraz_2023.png?v=1745839226","url":"https:\/\/www.bondarwines.com.au\/products\/2024-hope-springs-eternal-shiraz-80-coming-soon","provider":"Bondar Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
