WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mandala Chardonnay 2019 was produced from hand-picked grapes that underwent whole bunch pressing. Fermentation occurred in barrels with a combination of natural and selected yeasts, and 10% of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine was subsequently aged for 10 months in 100% French oak, with 15% new oak.
