Overview
The 2024 Standish Lamella Shiraz 750ml is a powerful and highly collectible single-vineyard Shiraz from Standish Wine Company, one of the most acclaimed producers in Barossa and Eden Valley. Established in 1999 by Dan Standish, the winery has become renowned for producing deeply expressive, low-intervention Shiraz that captures the character of its vineyard origins.
Lamella is sourced from Eden Valley, bringing a distinctive lift, mineral edge and structural finesse to the Standish range. Known for its whole-bunch complexity, layered fruit, spice and remarkable tannin profile, the 2024 release is a striking expression of precision, power and terroir.
Vintage Conditions
The 2024 vintage in South Australia delivered fruit of impressive concentration, aromatic clarity and structural balance. In Eden Valley, careful vineyard management and favourable ripening conditions helped preserve freshness while allowing Shiraz to develop deep flavour, spice and fine tannin maturity.
The resulting wines show excellent fruit purity, mineral definition and ageing potential, making the 2024 Standish releases highly anticipated among collectors and enthusiasts.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep crimson with intense purple highlights.
Aroma
Lifted and complex, showing notes of dark berries, dried rose petals, licorice, fennel, graphite, raw cocoa, caraway and exotic spice.
Palate
Powerful, layered and deeply structured, with a profusion of tannins, spice and concentrated fruit. The palate is gravelly and mineral, with ferrous tannins and savoury detail woven through the wine’s dense core.
Finish
Long, persistent and highly memorable, with lingering notes of black tea, sage, pink grapefruit, pepper, cocoa and fine-grained tannins that carry the wine beautifully through the finish.
Winemaking
The 2024 Lamella Shiraz is made using 100% whole bunches, a signature approach that contributes aromatic complexity, savoury detail and structural depth. Dan Standish follows a traditional, low-intervention winemaking philosophy, allowing the vineyard and vintage to speak with clarity.
Fermentation and maturation are handled with precision and restraint, preserving the wine’s mineral character, layered fruit and powerful yet finely shaped tannin profile. The wine is sealed under natural cork and wax.
