Standish Wine Co The Relic Shiraz Viognier 2022 750ml

Expertly crafted by STANDISH WINE CO, The Relic Shiraz Viognier 2022 750ML is a must-try for wine enthusiasts. This vintage boasts a concentrated hue and pure fruit aromas of plum compote, blueberry, and blackberry. It is perfectly balanced with layers of spice, violets, jasmine, and other complexities. With a vibrant minerality and compact tannins, this wine's long and true finish will leave a lasting impression. "The Relic is absolutely singing this year. Shiraz from an east-facing vineyard in Krondorf, with the addition of 2% viognier in '22. It sports an insanely concentrated hue in the glass, with pure fruit aromas of plum compote, blueberry and black berry fruits. Layer upon layer of spice along with violets, jasmine, pippy raspberry nuance, dried citrus rind, roasting meats and turned earth. For all the wine's fruit density and intensity, it's got cut and a vivid minerality of line, sliding across the palate with impressive energy and verve, its tannins compact, akin to compressed quartz and graphite, and the finish is long, pure and true. Pitch-perfect architecture this year, with Dan's trademark balance and harmony writ large." - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion, 2024
