About the wine
Elegant Victorian Shiraz from the Murray River region
This elegant, medium-bodied Shiraz was created with high quality grapes from the mighty Murray River region. It has Leighton’s fine winemaking skills all over it whilst still being super affordable.
Sumptuous yet refined, its mulberry and spice scent wafts over you first. Followed by a juicy forest of raspberries and a long lingering finish. This is a smooth, easy to drink drop that will see you eager for the next sip.
Leighton Joy relishes crafting wines like this that express their regionality. It’s also safe to say he knows his way around a Shiraz - he's taken out the Western Victoria Wine Challenge trophy for Best Shiraz and Best Wine twice, and in 2020, earned a place on the Top 50 Young Guns of Wine list.

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.
