"I'm excited to taste this, as it was my favorite cuvée last year. It usually changes year to year, given the seasons, and I like that. It's usually the only cuvée to enjoy the benefits of an alternate vessel—a concrete egg—and this year, the 2022 The Schubert Theorem Shiraz joins the Relic and the Standish as well. The impact of the egg in this wine is one of refinement, or so I see it; it retains a purity of fruit at the core, which speaks to the chalky tannins that spool through the finish. They're chewy and seductive and really great. It's a beautiful release—not shimmering like the 2021, but textural and fine and elongated in its way. It's a beguiling wine, a thinking wine. And, as with the other wines tasted alongside, the bottle that has been open for two days is infinitely more complete; however, it must be noted that this review is built on the freshly opened bottle. 14.9% alcohol, sealed under natural cork and wax. - Erin Larkin"

"Tasting through these Standish 2022 wines this was distinct. Tannin profile soared, tension, structure, finesse. That and a sense of freshness despite the freight train of concentrated ripe fruit and liquid spice found here. An Italiante sense to the wine in sour and tart, ripe and rich, earthy and meaty, herbal and bitter. Lots on. Lots of lovely. It might sit outside some of the paradigms of Barossa classics that some seek, but hey, there’s no need for that. It’s potent, no doubt, slinks along and stains the palate to infinity, a lithe profile of satiny tannin doing pucker and chew as dense, ripe plum, black olive, salted liquorice, clove, violet, cassis and amaro-like bitter sweet rolls on with a splash of blood orange in the mix. So satisfying, so much verity to the region and yet distinct and individual, charismatic, highly drinkable. A crunch even! The energy here a thing to behold. It’s vivid and a real beauty. Layers and layers on show."

Standish Wine Company

As a 6th generation Barossan, Dan Standish has an impressive background in the wine industry. Before finding his true niche; the Shiraz-based wines of France's Rhone Valley, he worked in some of the world's top wine regions including California's Napa and Sonoma Valleys and Rioja in Spain. Upon his return to Australia in 1991, while still working at the famed Torbreck Vintners, Dan established The Standish Wine Company with fruit sourced from a small parcel of old-vine Shiraz from his parent's Barossa vineyard. The fruit of these 96-year-old vines is used to produce The Standish; a concentrated, brooding Shiraz produced with wild yeast in open-top fermenters and gently basket-pressed. The wine is then matured in French oak for 30 months before a strict selection process. Only the finest barrels are labelled under the Standish name, which often results in limited quantity. The Relic pairs Shiraz with a small amount of Viognier, co-fermented and subjected to the same rigorous selection process. Dan produces three additional premium Shiraz wines from single vineyard sites throughout the Barossa.
