Region: King Valley, VIC

Variety: Aligote

Farming: Sustainable

Mallaluka is a Canberran family affair. Their estate-grown wines are made by second generation winemaker, Sam Leyshon, who, amongst others, learned to ply his trade with Australian all-stars Bryan Martin (Ravensworth) and Tim Kirk (Clonakilla).

His Aligote is made from King Valley fruit and shows the grape is all its fresh and easy-going insouciance. A delicious midweek wine if we’ve ever seen one.
