THE STANDISH WINE COMPANY is a wine company located in Australia's Barossa Valley. The estate produces multiple examples of Shiraz from vines with ungrafted rootstocks, including The Standish, The Relic, Andelmonde, Borne Bollene and The Schubert Theorem, from specific vineyard sites in Barossa Valley and Eden Valley.

The company was founded in 1999, after Dan Standish, who was the winemaker at Torbeck Vintners, secured a small parcel of Shiraz vines from his parents' vineyard in Vine Vale, a subregion of Barossa Valley. Today this 8-hectare (19-acre) vineyard, which is planted on white sandy soils over deep clay, contributes grapes for the flagship wine, The Standish.

The portfolio has a range of other varietal and blended wines. Drawing on previous winemaking experience in the Rhône Valley, Standish produces The Relic Shiraz with a small percentage of Viognier, a traditional technique in Côte Rôtie. Andelmonde, Borne Bollene and The Schubert Theorem are produced from 100-percent Shiraz sourced from vineyards with ungrafted vines.

The Standish Wine Company wines are vinified with wild yeasts and open-top fermented. They are then basket-pressed and matured in French oak barriques.

The much awaited 2016 Standish single vineyard wines have arrived. Dan Standish is one of the most highly regarded winemakers in the Barossa Valley with a deep connection to the place. He is a sixth generation local from a family of grape growers and has had his hand in the vineyard since he was a young boy.

Each wine is comprised of dozens of components. Different picking times, row selection, separate parcel vinification in small open top fermenters followed by maturation on lees in different format barrels all tease out greater complexity. Finally what can only be described as a brutal classification is used to ensure only the finest components are labelled under the Standish name.
