The Standish - Shiraz 2020
The Standish Wine Company is located in the Barossa Valley, in South-Australia. The company was founded in 1999, after Dan Standish, who was the winemaker at Torbreck Vintners, secured a small parcel of Shiraz vines from his parents' vineyard in Vine Vale, a sub-region of Barossa Valley. Today this 8-hectare vineyard, which is planted on white sandy soils over deep clay, contributes grapes for the flagship wine, The Standish. The estate produces multiple examples of Shiraz from vines with ungrafted rootstocks and the wines are vinified with wild yeasts in open-top fermented. They are basket-pressed and matured in French oak barriques. All batches of fruit are fermented and matured individually then follows a strict selection in the winery that can see as much as 80% of the original blend discarded and sold off in bulk.
Grape variety: 100% Shiraz
