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 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."
Tasting notes for 2022 Mandala Yarra Valley Chardonnay
Typical of the best modern Chardonnay, well integrated oak balances with the weight of the fruit. Citrus and white nectarine linger in the finish.
A combination of intense citrus and lime cordial aromas, grapefruit, green apples and stone fruit flesh on the palate is balanced by hints of cashew and toasty oak on the nose.
