2024 Standish Wine Co The Standish Shiraz Barossa Valley

2024 Standish Wine Co The Standish Shiraz Barossa Valley – A profound and commanding expression of old-vine Barossa Shiraz, sourced from the famed Laycock vineyard in Greenock. It is a wine of immense concentration and depth, yet one that carries its power with extraordinary precision and composure. In true Standish fashion, the focus is not simply on scale, but on texture, mineral detail and seamless balance. Deeply aromatic and intensely layered, the nose reveals blackberry, dark plum and blueberry compote intertwined with violet, liquorice and exotic spice. Complex savoury notes of graphite, ironstone, black olive and dark earth emerge beneath the fruit, while hints of cedar, cocoa nib and cracked pepper add further intrigue and sophistication. Full-bodied and densely structured, the palate delivers remarkable concentration without heaviness. A core of dark blue and black fruits is wrapped in velvety yet authoritative tannins, supported by vibrant acidity that brings lift and energy. Layers of spice, mineral, mocha and savoury earthiness unfold gradually, while the texture remains seamless and finely tuned throughout. There is both immense presence and extraordinary restraint here, culminating in a finish of exceptional length, power and mineral persistence. A monumental Barossa Shiraz that captures the essence of old-vine Greenock fruit through a lens of elegance and precision. Profound in youth yet unmistakably built for long-term evolution, it promises to develop magnificently over the next 20–30+ years. *Pre-Order – Released 1st June Single Price: $190.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $150.00
