Standish 'The Standish' Shiraz 2023
Couldn't load pickup availability
- TASTING NOTE: "The 2023 The Standish Shiraz is the most "Barossan" of all the Standish cuvées. It exudes earthy brick dust tannins and layers sumac and exotic spices with roasted game and sweet marrow. There are notes of black cherry, dried rose petals, sandalwood, hung deli meat and licorice, all of it strapped to rails of grounded tannin. It's chewy, substantial and of the earth, in its way. The fruit is sourced from the Laycock family vineyard in Greenock, as always, and it expresses the red clay and loam soils there in its splay of tannic fortitude and density. This is very impressive. It is fresh yet meaty/rocky—both attractive qualities in Shiraz/Syrah." 97 Points - Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate
- ABOUT THE WINE: Single vineyard. Laycock Family Vineyard, Greenock.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Standish Wine Company is a quiet one. No loud marketing or flashy bravado. The fact that they are one of the Barossa’s best producers probably explains this – the winery, tucked away on Kalimna Road off the usual wine tourist path and open by appointment only, adds to that allure. Talented winemaker Dan Standish, a 6th-generation Barossan, honed his craft making wine in the Rhône Valley, Spain and US, founding The Standish Wine Company in ’99 while working as the winemaker at Torbreck. The Standish leitmotif is fruit purity and transparency of site, and the offering focuses on profound shiraz from Greenock, Marananga, Krondorf and the Eden Valley. A much-admired flagbearer for the ‘New Barossa. Halliday
