Standish 'The Standish' Shiraz 2024
Our Verdict
"This seamless beauty is a candidate for perfection." - Joe Czerwinski - Wine Advocate
"Dan Standish is an extremely experienced winemaker, adding work in the Napa and Sonoma valleys in California, La Rioja in Spain and the Rhone Valley in France to his domestic winemaking." James Halliday
The 2024 Standish wines have been released, and as always they are scarce. Despite an awkward vintage, Dan Standish has crafted exceptional reds, albeit in smaller quantities than his usual meagre output.
“The 2024 The Standish Shiraz was made with fruit from the Laycock family vineyard (the fruit for the 2026 vintage is being picked today, as I stand in the winery with Dan and taste), in Greenock, with 50% whole bunches in the ferment, up from 30% last vintage. I always say that the best amount of whole bunches for me is as much as I can taste; this simple means that whole bunches from Barossa taste the same as whole bunches from Rhône, and both obscure the place in which the fruit was grown. Since that sense of place is at the heart of why I buy, drink and collect wine, I prefer it not to dominate the drinking experience. As usual, the Standish wines harness whole bunches as a tool for texture, structure and complexity but are rarely consumed by it." 98 Points - Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate
