2022 Mallaluka Amber

WINEMAKER: Sam Leyshon
REGION: Canberra District, NSW
VARIETAL: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Semillon, Muscat 
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable

70% Chardonnay, 18% Chenin Blanc, 10% Semillon and 2% white muscat. All parcels have been skin fermented using natural yeasts, basket pressed and stored in seasoned French oak barriques, puncheons and stainless steel for two complete years. No fining, no filtration.

"It is the one wine I feel you get a green light to push to the extremities of the ‘hands off’ approach. In saying that, I have been trying to refine this amber style over the years, and this is my most refined yet"

Sam Leyshon is the man (the myth, the legend) behind Mallaluka. After time at Clonakilla and a stint with the iconic Jean-Louis Chave (woof), Sam now produces his own thoughtful, naturally made wines from the Canberra District with fruit from the family vineyard and select, trusted growers. We have lots of love for Sam.
