Standish The Relic Shiraz Viognier 2018

The 2018 Relic comes from the east-facing Hongell Family Vineyard in Krondorf, where a small amount of Viognier is co-fermented with Shiraz - a nod to Dan Standish's time in France's Rhône Valley. The Viognier lifts the aromatics and adds a fine floral edge, apricot and white pepper, over a core of dark berry fruit and silky, refined tannins

Appearance:
Developing garnet-ruby, with a brick-toned edge showing graceful maturity.

Nose:
Dried apricot and rose petal lift over dark cherry and plum, with white pepper and a touch of dried herb.

Palate:
Medium to full-bodied and silky, with succulent dark fruit, fine, resolved tannins and a floral, spiced thread running throughout.

Finish:
Long and perfumed, with lingering apricot, white pepper and soft dark fruit.

About the producer
Standish Wine Company
The Standish Wine Company is a small, appointment-only winery tucked away on Kalimna Road in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. Founded with a quiet, unmarketed approach, it has nonetheless built a reputation as one of the region's finest producers. The estate focuses on single-vineyard Shiraz — sourced from old-vine sites in Greenock, Marananga, Krondorf and the Eden Valley — expressed across four wines: The Standish, The Relic, Schubert's Theorem and Lamella. The guiding philosophy is fruit purity and transparency of site, with each parcel fermented and matured to reflect its specific place of origin.
