This explosively aromatic Pét Nat comes from a single vineyard of Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit has a little bit of skin contact to bring on those tropical aromatics - think pineapple and peach - and this mixes well with the citrus and herb punch that Sauvignon gives. Bright, zesty and lightly fizzy, this is a party.

Young Sam Leyshon - a name that, if you don’t already know from the Aussie wine scene, you’ll soon be more than familiar with - spent years roaming the Australian outback, and building a profound relationship with the land. However, all walkabouts must come to an end at some point, and he returned home to Canberra and landed a job at Clonakilla, where he first cut his teeth on the local wine scene. With the wealth of experience he picked up there, it wasn’t long before his ambition led him to move on to greater things, and the next few years saw him taking over his family winery at Yass, just an hour north of Canberra. The rest, as they say, is history. Sam quickly revitalised the family operation with a dynamic, exciting, and thoroughly up-to-date set of approaches, seeking out his winemaking groove along the way. Mallaluka is the culmination of all his passions; these are wines which celebrate minimal intervention, and intended for the dining table, the family barbecue, and the kind of bars he’d want to drink at, offering great value with characteristics that punch well above their weight. Today, Mallaluka is a veritable rising star of the Canberra district, showcasing the unique features of the terroir, and what can happen when great land meets a determined and driven spirit.
