2022 Standish Wine Co The Standish Shiraz Barossa Valley – 100% Shiraz – Sourced from the Laycock Vineyard – Parbs Road, Greenock, Barossa Valley Planted on own roots in 2002 (1.39 Hectare – 9ft x 6ft spacing) Ironstone gravels and schist over dark red clays at 314m above sea level.
Blessed with a long cool ripening season each of these 2022 Shiraz’s are unabashedly Barossa but more intricately reveal a distinct sense of place in which the vines inhabit. An outstanding vintage to showcase the intimate temperaments within their special part of the world.
Standish’s bright, luscious Shiraz’s each reveal refined, multi-layers of graceful tannin; fleshy and distinguished. While unmistakably Barossan, this vintage carries an elegance akin to a Northern Rhone offering – an atypical shift resulting from a more modest variation of our renowned ‘blow-dry’ summer heat.
Dense, latent and strapping, this flaunts the flawless purity. Tightly wound with its cards close to the vest, deep-set aromatics of herbal tea, red and black berries, pressed currant, liquorice and black truffle are foiled by redolent tones of tilled soil, beef broth and slow roasted meats. Dark and brooding with immense concentration, complexity, persistence and energy it is gently laced with a long fine cloak of silken tannin. More reticent than its stable mate, it shows wonderful staying power for those with immense patience and cool, dark cellars.
Dense, layered, full flavoured, delicious. We could go on and on about this wine. Expect notes of raspberries, blueberries, licquorice, black pepper and some complex herbs. Once opened this wine really softens out and saturates the palate. Such balance to a full throttle wine – another glass please!
