Dan Standish works with some of the oldest and most expressive Shiraz vineyards in the Barossa Valley, including those planted in Vine Vale, Greenock and Marananga. Every bottling is 100% Shiraz, made using wild fermentations, whole bunch inclusion, and extended time in French oak to preserve detail and longevity. The approach is hands-off but deeply considered, allowing the character of each vineyard to define the wine. These are not blended wines; they are precision cut, single-vineyard expressions that speak volumes of site and season, tailored for collectors and age-worthy by design.
Each bottling from The Standish Wine Company offers a distinctive take on Barossa Shiraz, shaped by soil, elevation and vine age.
