Standish The Relic 2004, crafted by Standish Wine Company in Australia’s Barossa Valley, is a unique Shiraz-Viognier blend 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 concentrated 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 pairing with roasted lamb or hearty stews, this Relic is a collector’s gem, reflecting Barossa’s terroir and offering a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a nuanced and expressive Australian red.
