Lazy Sunday Grampians Shiraz Cabernet 2020
About the wine
Luscious Aussie classic from Victoria
- Tough conditions and extremely low yielding vines gave Leighton a small vintage of very intense little grapes to transform into this splendid wine.
- Once picked, Leighton worked his winemaking magic in the sheds and finally matured the wine in quality French & American Oak. And he’s happy to report it’s Vegan and Vego friendly.
- The juicy smell of blueberries comes with a cozy side order of aniseed and baking spices. Take a sip for luscious smooth tannins and the dark delights of liquorice, blackberry, clove and bitter chocolate. Enjoy!

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.
