About the wine
Sultry premium Syrah from the Victorian Pyrenees
Pyren vineyard basks in the sunshine of the glorious Warrenmang valley in the Victorian Pyrenees. Under careful management, the precious low-yielding vines have produced top quality fruit.
This sultry Syrah is packed with regionality. Open it up for a classic smack of liquorice, blackberry, pepper and a touch of mint. Don’t hurry each sip, sit back and enjoy its lingering kiss goodbye.
Don’t miss this golden opportunity to experience another expression of Leighton’s talents - a premium reserve Syrah - for well under its $60 price tag. And you’ll put a smile back on Leighton’s face into the bargain!

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.
