The Mandala Wines Story
"Mandala has been a dream in our family for generations. We always wanted a place to grow grapes, make wine and share it with our friends and family. So it was a dream come true when we planted our first ten acres of Pinot Noir ‘rootlings’ in Yarra Junction in 1999. Things were going well and we were ready to expand. But it’s Nanna who sent the dream to mum one fateful night; She saw the rolling hills, the dams, the vines and a place to sit at the end of the day taking in the endless view. One year later in 2006 the time was right and the dream became a reality. We moved into Dixons Creek and together with the Yarra Junction vineyard Mandala was born.
Our favourite wines lead us to the Yarra Valley, Charles’ love of Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay made it the perfect choice. The Valley is famous for its superb cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and our vineyards also have established Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot vines. All of these qualities and only an hour from Melbourne made it the best place to unearth Mandala and make the wines we like to drink."
Silky layers of cherry and plum precede a long finish with great acid structure and supple tannins. The fruit is wholly sourced from our dedicated Pinot Noir site at Yarra Junction (Clones: 114, 115 and Mv6). Matured for 11 months in French oak.
A lovely perfumed nose of autumnal characters, nuances of crushed violet and spicy clove.
