2010 Standish Schubert Theorem Shiraz 750ml

Accolades & Reviews

• Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate – 96 Points

“Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 The Schubert Theorem shows off a beautifully perfumed black cherry, macerated blackberry and blueberry nose that captures a real underlying sweetness and is highlighted with touches of chocolate, cumin and lavender plus a whiff of pepper. Rich, full-bodied and packed with flavor, it is elegantly constructed though still very youthful and has firm grainy tannins framing the long and layered finish.”
— Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

About the Wine

Dan Standish, alumnus of Torbreck and now hailed by Joe Czerwinski as “the reigning king of Barossa Shiraz,” produces some of the region’s most profound single-vineyard wines.

The Schubert Theorem is sourced from century-old vines in the Vine Vale subregion. Basket-pressed and matured for 30 months in French oak, it combines the power of Barossa with Rhône-like precision.

Inky purple in the glass, the wine delivers aromas of Black Forest fruit, aniseed, spice, earth, and dark chocolate, leading to a decadent, opulent palate of black fruits, plum, and liquorice. The structure is seamless, and the finish exceptionally long and commanding — a benchmark expression of Barossa Shiraz.
