The Standish Lamella Shiraz 2023

CellarRed wineAustralia98+ points - Erin Larkin, The Wine AdvocateCorkNew release

Single-vineyard Shiraz with cult status đŸ“đŸ”„

The 2023 Lamella is the most finely detailed wine in the Standish lineup—sourced from Hutton Vale Farm in Eden Valley, where old vines (some dating back to the 1800s) grow at elevation on sandy soils. The result? Incredible lift, fragrance, and precision.

It’s not yet included in the Langton’s Classification, but with collectors chasing each release and strong secondary market performance, the Lamella is a serious contender for future inclusion.

Structured yet lifted. Expressive yet composed. For lovers of cool-climate Shiraz, Lamella isn’t just one to watch—it’s one to collect.

What the experts say about this wine

Following on from the perfect 2022 release, I find myself opening this wine with a fair bit of excitement... This is velvety and grainy, supple and pliable. The tannins are dry and silky, and they perfectly balance the intensity of sweet/spicy fruit in the mouth. This wine is a clear example of why you must back a producer over a vintage, because a good producer will triumph no matter the conditions.

A mesh of red berries, regional Aussie bush characters, white pepper, alpine herb and touches of mocha and salted liquorice. Incredibly dense but almost held to a medium bodied weight, a sense of quality, lacy tannin but with authority and a distinct persistence of complex, layered flavours of fruit and herbal inflection. A beautiful overall feel to the wine. It feels symphonic. Energetic too.

Ripe raspberry, mint and sage, something of a maple syrup smell, exotic spice, slight cut capsicum and creamy oak. So, quite a bit going on here. Full-bodied, black and red fruit, a nutty toffee thing, firm chamois-like tannin, plenty of length with a cool ‘mineral’ feel to acidity. Nice wine. Distinct.
