From the “Orchard Block” at Mandala’s Dixon’s Creek estate.

Mandala, Sauvignon Blanc, Yarra Valley 2018

Fresh, lifted and a slightly sweaty aromas of yellow tropical melon, with passionfruit, orange blossom, pear, soft hay bale and dewy grass. Fine lines, if missing some fruit flesh through the middle. Steers clear of being cloying. The zesty citrus finish is clean and refreshing.
