Tasting Note
Sparkling wine is another Yarra Valley cool climate trophy wine, with premium Sparkling varietals in the region varying according to the different varieties used during the winemaking process, as well as the length of time the wine is aged. Our NV “M by Mandala” is a stunning blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir. Our Chardonnay fruit delivers the striking lemon zesty and light sherbet characters, whilst the Pinot Noir contributes to the feel and weight on the palate along with spice essences. The fruit bunches were harvested early to ensure freshness and a balance of acids.
A classic combination of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the aromatics of this sparkling centre on green apples and bright citrus notes of lemon zest and lime cordial. Matured stone fruits and a creamy mid-palate are brilliantly maintained with an extended finish of crisp, natural acidity and a fine bead. 12.5% alc/vol.
Wine & Cheese Pairing
In terms of cheese pairing, M by Mandala Sparkling NV goes well with creamy, mild cheeses such as Brie or Camembert. The creamy and buttery texture of these cheeses complements the wine’s smooth effervescence, while their subtle flavors do not overpower the delicate fruit notes of the wine.
