About the wine
Not your average Savvy!
This is not your average Savvy! A delicious, textural white wine made in the style of a red wine, in that the grape skins are left in contact with the grape juice, pulling out flavour and tannin. Known around the traps as an ‘orange’ wine this is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, not oranges!
This wine brings a textural experience in both appearance and feel, with zippy acidity and a fruit flavour profile of grapefruit, lemon and pineapple that transcends robust depths and subtle heights. Ahhh, yum!
If you’re looking to experience a totally unique white wine, and a style that is being talked about in all the best wine bars, you will love this! This is perfect with all full flavoured food.
Best before
This is the fourth time I have made a Sauvignon Blanc in this style... I only have one bottle of the 2014 that I cant bring myself to open, however the 2015 release is still going strong.
Having said that, I would drink it as soon as possible.
Serving advice
Id recommend that this wine be below room temperature, however not ice cold.
Its ready to go upon opening, but will improve in the glass.
Food match
A salad of trout, citrus chunks, Meredith Goats Cheese and dill with a sprinkle of crushed walnut.

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.
