Standish The Relic 2004 6L, crafted by Standish Wine Company in Australia’s Barossa Valley, is a rare Shiraz-Viognier blend in an imperial format from a balanced vintage. The 2004 vintage offers a bouquet of blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, with floral notes of violet, spice, and black pepper. The palate is rich and harmonious, with soft tannins and vibrant acidity that balance the fruit. Subtle hints of mocha, leather, and minerality add complexity, while the finish is long and refined. Standish’s artisanal winemaking, including co-fermentation and French oak aging, ensures a wine of finesse and elegance. Perfect for special occasions and pairing with roasted lamb or hearty stews, this 6L format is a collector’s masterpiece, reflecting Barossa’s terroir and offering a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a nuanced Australian red.
