Standish The Schubert Theorem 2018, crafted by Standish Wine Company in Australia’s Barossa Valley, is a profound Shiraz from the Schubert family’s old vines in the Marananga subregion. The 2018 vintage offers a bouquet of blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, interwoven with notes of black pepper, graphite, and spice. The palate is rich and concentrated, with velvety tannins and vibrant acidity that balance the opulent fruit. Subtle hints of mocha, leather, and earthy minerality add complexity, while the finish is long, structured, and elegant, promising decades of aging potential. Standish’s minimalist winemaking, including hand-harvesting, open-top fermentation, and French oak aging, ensures a wine of precision and finesse. Perfect for pairing with grilled ribeye or roasted game, this Shiraz is a collector’s gem, reflecting the unique terroir of Barossa’s Marananga and offering a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a bold yet refined Australian red.
