What the critics say:
96 | Wine Advocate, Joe Czerwinski
Mulberries and blueberries appear alongside a hint of white pepper on the nose of Standish's 2017 The Schubert Theorem Shiraz, sourced from Marananga. It's full-bodied, firm and structured, loaded with mixed berries and balanced by savory undercurrents of espresso and black olive. It finishes long and mouthwatering yet also dusty and tannic. Give it another 2-3 years in the cellar and drink it over the following decade or so.
97 | Decanter, Sarah Ahmed
Shares the dark-fruited profile, savoury depth and tapering mineral tannins of the 2018, with lifted pink peppercorn, smoked meat, cocoa, cardamom and kelp nuances. The fresh black cherry, plum and blueberry fruit has a firm stony quality, balancing this vintage’s ripe, dried black olive notes. Long textured finish of smoky espresso. Drinking Window 2020 - 2037
The Standish Wine Company
"In the context of Australian shiraz, the Standish wines are continually regarded as being exceptionally high quality—among the very best"
- Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate
Having spent a stint at Australian icon Torbreck, Dan Standish travelled the world learning from the best winemakers in the Rhone, Napa, Sonoma and Spain. Upon his return to Australia, Dan started producing wine from ancient parcels of Shiraz that were farmed by his father. All of the grapes are handpicked, wild fermented in open-top fermenters and matured in French oak for 18-22 months with the aim being to let the vineyard expression shine through as opposed to the oak overpowering.
Dan currently producers four wines; The Standish – Shiraz from Greenock, The Schubert – Shiraz from Roennfeldt Road, Lamella – Shiraz from Eden Valley, The Relic – 99% Shiraz / 1% Viognier from Krondorf. Across the board, the Standish wines are incredibly concentrated or opulent but are balanced with precision and fruit purity. In the last few vintages, both the Wine Advocate and James Suckling have given high praise to the wines from Standish. The only downside to the wines is that our allocation of these wines are so small. So if you see some available on the website, then it’s your lucky chance to snap some up.
