Standish - The Relic Shiraz-Viognier:
Der 'The Relic' hat eine beeindruckend tiefschwarze Farbe, die von ebenso tiefen dunkelvioletten Reflexen untermalt werden. Sehr schöner und brillianter Glanz im Glas. In der Nase dann aufsteigende komplexe Aromen von reifen Brombeeren, Blaubeeren, schwarzen Kirschen, Lakritz und dunkler Schokolade. Auch Noten von getrockneter Aprikose berauschen die olfaktorischen Sinne. Leicht geräucherte Eiche und feines Vanilleextrakt, Fenchel- und Gewürznoten sind ebenfalls zu erkennen. Ein absoluter Riese, sehr vollmundig und hedonistisch. Am Gaumen ungeheurer Reichtum, komplett gesättigt mit üppigen Brombeeren, Blaubeeren, Lakritz, dunklen Pflaumen und schwarzen Kirschfrüchten, die in Verbindung mit der feinen Mineraliknote eine opulente Texturatmosphäre schaffen. Feinste Vanillenoten, fleischige Komponenten und Holzfeuerrauch in Verbindung mit Anklängen von getrockneter Aprikose verschmelzen mit pfeffrigen Noten und feinen Gewürzen. Die polierten Tannine bieten eine schöne Griffigkeit und vermitteln ein wundervolles Mundgefühl. Der 'The Relic' beeindruckt auf ganzer Linie. Seine großartige Kraft, Tiefe und Eleganz in Verbindung mit einem nicht enden wollenden Finale runden dieses perfekte Geschmackserlebnis ab.

"Standish's 2017 The Relic Shiraz-Viognier includes 2% Viognier, just enough to soften the wine's considerable tannins and add a floral element on the nose. Gorgeous scents of brambly blackberries and anise lead into a wine that's full-bodied and plush, long and silky, adding hints of cocoa and espresso on the finish." - Wine Advocate

"The 2020 The Relic Shiraz-Viognier is made with fruit from the Hongell family vineyard in Krondorf, with 15% to 20% whole bunches in the ferment and 1% Viognier skins co-fermented. This is the best I’ve seen it. There’s something about the combination of the hot year and the diminished yields—it has recoiled and recompressed the Viognier on top of and into the Shiraz and brought them into balance/harmony. Beneath its floral and stone fruit guiles is a pool of savory, muscular, red-dirt Shiraz. There is bacon fat and pure berry fruit and spice for days… I’ve recently looked at a previous vintage of this wine alongside an older but immaculate Chateau d’Ampuis, and while their origins were clear in the glass, the Relic proved an Australian perspective more than relevant. The balance between the varieties—and the classic push/pull of sweet and savory—is more harmonious this year than in any I can remember, and the only thing I am more excited about when I consider this wine is what I will say next year, through the lens of an excellent, cool and elegant year. What a fine pair they will make." - Wine Advocate

2020 The Relic Shiraz Viognier
"A pretty sensational wine with blackberry, grilled meat, dark chocolate, and licorice. Full-bodied and layered with righteous deep and poised tannins that coat the mouth. It goes on for minutes. Crushed stone, slate. Asian spice. Original vines planted in 1912. Drinkable, but better after three or four years. Try after 2025."

"The 2021 The Relic Shiraz-Viognier is made with fruit from the Hongell family vineyard, Krondorf. It was made with 1% Viognier co-fermented, with 25% whole bunches in the ferment this year, up from 15% to 20% in 2020. The Relic is one of Australia’s greatest Shiraz Viognier wines, and it’s a sure thing each year for quality and execution of style. In 2020, it was my preferred wine of the collection for its savory, meaty/bacon fat/bloody character. All elements were in balance, and it managed a savory and floral drive within the same glass. Super cool. This year, I love the wine for all the opposite reasons. The 2021 is creamy, plush and almost sybaritic in its outlay of fruit and tannin. At 15.5% alcohol, it's the highest alcohol wine in the 2021 release, yet it doesn’t show that via warmth or harshness in the wine. The whole-bunch component is up slightly this year from last, and honestly, it feels completely invisible in the wine. This is undoubtedly the biggest, most plush wine in the collection, but true to form for Standish, it is balanced and fresh, with a long future in front of it." - Wine Advocate
