Other Reviews…..
Fruit from Yarra Junction and Dixons Creek. Another bright, well-made and well-priced pinot from the team at Mandala. A light, bright cherry red. Gently lifted aromas of freshly poached red fruits, floral notes and a hint of forest floor in the background. Equally gentle on the light- to medium-bodied, poised and persistent palate. A delight to drink now and over the next 3–4 years.
