Old vine Barossa Shiraz, with edge and elegance in equal measure. The Standish Shiraz 2015 is a commanding wine from one of the Barossa’s most singular voices. Dan Standish crafts his wines from ancient, low-yielding parcels—this cuvée sourced from the sandy flints of Vine Vale. Fermented in small oak vats and matured parcel by parcel, only the finest barrels make the final cut. The result? A dense, finely structured Shiraz that speaks as much of restraint as it does of power.
This 2015 vintage delivers a dark, tightly coiled expression. Coal dust, blackcurrant and truffle aromas give way to roasted meats, blood broth and subtle soil tones. The palate is immensely concentrated, with a savoury undertow and fine silken tannins that stretch its length and promise longevity. It’s a wine that doesn’t rush to reveal itself—better to cellar it, or give it time in the glass.
Serious Barossa for collectors, but with a texture and tone that transcends regional stereotypes.

Serious structure and shape. Black fruits, herbs and dense tannins. A wine of presence and patience.
Still evolving. Classic Standish weight and detail with earthy depth and seamless flow.
Founded in 1999 by sixth-generation Barossan Dan Standish, The Standish Wine Company is a small-batch producer with serious intent. After refining his craft at Torbreck and in the vineyards of the Rhône, Rioja and Sonoma, Dan returned to South Australia to focus on site-driven Shiraz from Eden and Barossa Valleys.
Each vineyard parcel is fermented separately, and up to 80% of the blend may be discarded—only the most compelling barrels make the final cut. It’s a fiercely selective approach that delivers wines of both clarity and depth, intensity and finesse.
Alongside Dan, Nicole Standish drives the technical and viticultural precision that underpins the brand. Together they favour whole-bunch ferments, wild yeasts, natural cork, and extended élevage in French oak (18–22 months). These choices shape Lamella into a distinctive expression of site: structured, aromatic, and built to age.
At the core of The Standish Wine Company is a belief in precision without compromise, and in letting great sites speak for themselves. Dan Standish’s philosophy is grounded in minimal intervention—wild ferments, whole-bunch inclusion, no fining or filtration—and an unwavering focus on vineyard expression over winemaking signature.
Lamella, drawn from cooler Eden Valley plots like Hutton Vale and Stonegarden, leans into its origins with savoury detail, floral lift and mineral tension. Each vintage is vinified and assessed barrel by barrel, with only the most expressive components chosen for final bottling. It’s a rigorous process that favours quiet power over brute force.
The result is Shiraz that captures nuance and structure, designed not just for immediacy, but for long-haul cellaring. Every bottle is a distillation of time, place and intention—made with patience, and built to reward it.
Coal, blackcurrant, truffle and slow-roast meats with tilled soil and graphite.
Black fruits and cocoa layered with spice, broth, and stony minerality.
Silken tannins and savoury persistence promise excellent ageing potential.
