About the wine
Subtle, elegant Shiraz from Victorias Pyrenees
-
Pyren’s thirsty, low yielding vines surrendered their elegant fruit for whole berry wild fermentation in open vats. The tempting result had time in both French oak and tank to develop and mature.
-
This is a subtle and stylish Shiraz, happy to show off its regionality. Pour a glass to let loose the savoury scent of mushroom, green peppercorn, and spice. Then enjoy the sensation of red berry fruit, spice, pepper and a dash of paprika on your tongue.
-
Don’t miss this golden opportunity to experience another expression of Leighton’s talents - an interesting and compelling Shiraz - for well under its $35 price tag. And you’ll put a smile back on his face into the bargain!
Best before
Looking sensational after 4 years... should comfortably go another 3 in peak condition.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Leighton Joy
- Leighton’s eyes were opened to the idea of winemaking when he started working in his father's sultana vineyard. In 1999, his father and uncle went on to establish Pyren vineyard in the beautiful Victorian Pyrenees (now a critically acclaimed winery), and his winemaking journey began.
- Before long, Leighton had racked up crates of experience and multiple medals - including the Western Victoria Wine Challenge trophy for Best Shiraz and Best Wine. But running a small business is never plain sailing and in 2015, Pyren hit a rough spot that threatened to close its doors.
- Getting Naked changed everything for Leighton as thousands of Angels came to the rescue and tripled his wine sales overnight. Today, he continues to craft single-vineyard drops from the family’s precious vines, pouring endless amounts of honesty and integrity into each bottle. And in 2020 it earned him a spot on the Top 50 Young Guns of Wine list.
