organic. At Mandala, we believe what's best for the environment also makes the best wine. That's why we're committed to offering a variety of wines produced using healthy + natural practices.
Up to 240 different chemicals have been found in the making of conventional wines. Conversely, organic wines are made with grapes grown without chemical fertilizers, herbicides or insecticides that can hurt soil, plants + wildlife + ultimately show up in the wine. Instead, biologically active soil is maintained in vineyards through alternatives such as cultivating the soil + planting cover crops, using natural fertilizers, promoting a biodiversity of plants + encouraging natural predators of insect pests.
Also, processing such as filtration + clarifying are kept to a minimum, with no use of chemical additives. These wines are produced with no additional sulfites (often used as a preservative). Sulfites are a natural bi-product of fermentation. This ensures great taste + freshness, + prevents oxidation.
biodynamic. These principles take the organic approach a step further by making sure that the growth of the grapes is in tune with the larger environment. Using homeopathic sprays, herbal preparations + lunar cycles, soil fertility is increased + vines are protected from pests + diseases.
vegan. Winemakers, both organic + conventional, are not obliged to declare on the label when they use animal by-products as fining agents to clarify wine. These include egg white (to brighten red wines), casein (a milk protein to make wine taste softer), gelatin (removes bitterness) + isinglass (derived from fish). A vegan wine, on the other hand, uses no animal products whatsoever.
