About the wine
Fine example of an Aussie classic wine
- This ruby red gem is the product of very low yielding vines in Leighton’s superb family vineyard in Victoria. And that means buckets of flavour!
- Once picked, it’s been wild fermented (no added yeast) and matured in quality French Oak. And Leighton’s happy to report it’s Vegan and Vego friendly.
- Plum and blackcurrant wait to take you on a tasting journey accompanied by wafts of cedarwood, black pepper and tobacco. Its dusty tannins mingle with that dark fruit and lengthen the whole thing out as you sip. Smashing!

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.
