About this gift
The Violet Hour was the first wine Andre Bondar and Selina Kelly made, and it’s still the best expression of what they do - elegant, energetic McLaren Vale Shiraz with real shape and detail.
Sourced entirely from the Rayner Vineyard, where old vines sit on deep sands threaded with ironstone, the 2024 shows McLaren Vale in its most refined light. There’s red and blue fruit, a little spice and pepper, fine tannins, and just enough flesh to fill the frame. No heavy oak, no excess.
Andre’s goal here has always been to make a wine that’s pure and expressive rather than loud or showy and this vintage nails it. It’s supple, savoury, and built on balance.
