Winemaker Notes
"The sensational 2002 Shiraz (from 89-year-old vines) offers up scents of roasted meats, beef broth, blackberries, and cassis liqueur. Its texture, sumptuous depth, and incredible richness and purity blew me away. Despite its huge size, it possesses tremendous equilibrium and definition. Drink this classic South Australian Shiraz over the next 10-15 years. If you love the wines of Torbreck, you'll also find this wine totally compelling." (95-98 points) - Wine Advocate

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2002 Shiraz was sourced from 89 year old vines and spent 30 months in 3-5 year French barriques. Very deep garnet in color, it gives intense aromas of dried plum and warm blackberries over notes of dusty earth, menthol, coffee, tree bark, black truffle, tobacco and licorice. Very full and concentrated in the mouth, it has medium-firm grainy tannins, crisp acid and a long, layered though slightly warm finish. Drinking now, it should continue to give pleasure to 2018.

The Standish Wine Company was created in 1999 when Dan Standish sourced a small parcel of Old Vine Shiraz from his parent’s vineyard in the heart of the Barossa Valley. The 96-year old vines are planted on the typical sand over clay soil profile characteristic of Vine Vale the sub region of the Barossa Valley. With Dan’s enormous passion for the wines of the Rhone Valley in the south of France, it was natural evolution that the wines made would reflect the intrinsic styles of the Rhone. Formerly a Winemaker at Torbreck Vintners in the Barossa Valley, Dan carries a Degree in Chemical Engineering and has worked in the Napa & Sonoma Valleys in California, La Rioja in Spain and studied extensively the vineyards of the Rhone Valley in France.
