100% handpicked from Mandala's premium Pinot Noir vineyards in Yarra Junction and the Dixon's Creek vineyard. 100% French oak; 25% new.
A bright and complex aromatic profile displaying notes of pomegranate, dried strawberry and star anise with hints of blue fruit, crushed violet, fresh tobacco and truffle. A finely structured palate offers textural generosity with notes of red currant and dark cherry integrating well with supportive oak spice. Refreshing natural acidity gives the wine drive and line leading into a long and persistent finish.. Suggested period of 5-8 years. 13.4% Alc/Vol.
This a delicious, sassy, easy-going light to gently middle-weight contender of a pinot. Ripe cherry, a whiff of root spice that miraculously-thank whatever higher power-does not stray into that regional medicinal zone. Impeccably appointed oak, encouraging rather than hindering aggressive consumption. Earlier rather than later. Again, the beauty across this address' wines is often in the uncanny simplicity.
