ABOUT MALLALUKA

Mallaluka is a winemaking business located in Yass, NSW, within the Canberra district. It is a small family operation that grows 5 acres of vines to make wine from, and purchases grapes from many districts across the state and sometimes beyond.

Sam Leyshon is the winemaker and part owner of the business, working with his Dad (owner/founder/used to be winemaker) and now Brother. They source fruit from the regions, vineyards and varieties they like and turn them into the most expressive forms of wine they can. They feel wine needs to have personality, so they do not fine, filter or add to their wine, with minimal sulphur at bottling being the only exception.
