Standish 'The Relic' Shiraz Viognier 2024 (750ml)

Hongell Family Vineyard, Krondorf
98% Shiraz 2% Viognier

The Relic Shiraz-Viognier is made with fruit from the Hongell family vineyard, Krondorf.

"The 2024 The Relic Shiraz-Viognier comprises 2% Viognier (destemmed, co-fermented with the Shiraz on top). Aromatically, the wine leads with red apples and cherry blossom, cranberry, pomegranate and apricot flowers."

"This is floral, with rose petals and violets, all of it set against the backdrop of black fruit. Freshness abounds here. In the mouth, the wine is silky, the tannins ferrous and profuse and the length typically long."

"This is very fine in its shape and monumentally powerful but chalky too. It is very impressive."
