BONDAR Midnight Hour Shiraz 2024

The bottle that gets opened when nobody's ready to call it a night. Dark, expressive and beautifully composed. A McLaren Vale Shiraz that delivers depth and power without sacrificing elegance.

Named for the moments that stretch long after dinner has ended, Midnight Hour captures the quieter side of McLaren Vale Shiraz.

Produced by Bondar Wines, this is a wine built on balance rather than excess. Concentrated dark fruit, spice and savoury complexity are carried by fine tannins and freshness, creating a Shiraz that feels refined, energetic and remarkably drinkable.

Rich enough for winter evenings, yet composed enough to keep reaching for another glass.

Why We Chose It

At Álavôt, we're drawn to wines that tell a story beyond the label.

Midnight Hour feels exactly as its name suggests. It's the bottle opened after the guests have arrived, the meal is underway and nobody is looking at their watch anymore.

Confident, layered and memorable.
