Chardonnay. The Yarra Valley’s white grape hero.

Mandala, Chardonnay, Yarra Valley, 2017

Just canting into the savoury side of the chardonnay spectrum with malt, grapefruit and lime citrus before riper fig, brioche, light jersey caramel, honeycomb and soft mocha oak. The palate similar to the nose, with an expressive creaminess that gets nipped and tucked by zesty, acidity. Plenty of juicy flavour, if not overtly complex.
