Standish 'Schubert Theorem' Shiraz 2024

"This collection of five Shiraz cuvées from the 2024 Vintage have all been afforded the same “growing up” nurturing regimen or élevage. Over 542 days and nights voyaging through malolactic fermentation, melding with the lively lees, slowly reacting with the tiny ingress of oxygen to mellow and evolve in oak barrels. From a dry growing season these 2024’s have indeed grown into detailed, complex and balanced wines of structured depth and lifted vibrancy. One notable difference is the concrete egg for the northeast section of the Schubert vineyard." - Dan Standish, Winemaker 

"The 2024 'The Schubert Theorem' Shiraz is forever one of my favorite wines in this lineup—if I am to reach for a bottle at home, this is often the one that my heart steers me toward. Aromatically, the wine leads with blue fruits and licorice, Boscobel rose and pomegranate. This is fresh, complex and powerful; the tannins feel delicately interwoven into the fruit, and the impact on the palate is all seamlessness and flow. Yes! This is an unbelievable wine. This is usually the only cuvée that features vessels other than oak, such as concrete egg. It preserves freshness and purity within the wine, like the eye of a storm, a center of calm and clarity in what is otherwise a maelstrom of dense flavor and texture." - 100 Points, Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
