Founded in 1999 by Dan Standish — sixth-generation Barossan and a winemaker of rare conviction — The Standish Wine Company has grown from cult status to icon.
The Standish Wine Company produces just a handful of wines each year, all from single-vineyard Shiraz (Syrah) sites scattered across the Barossa and Eden Valleys. Each wine is an expression of terroir at its most unflinching — no blending, no fining, no filtration, no distractions.

Standish’s 2017 The Relic Shiraz-Viognier includes 2% Viognier, just enough to soften the wine’s considerable tannins and add a floral element on the nose. Gorgeous scents of brambly blackberries and anise lead into a wine that’s full-bodied and plush, long and silky, adding hints of cocoa and espresso on the finish.
