2024 Standish The Schubert Theorem

100 Points - Erin Larkin, The wine Advocate “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. 14.9% alcohol, sealed under cork and wax.”

Stuart McCloskey, Tasted 22 April 2026 “I always find myself asking the same question with Schubert Theorem - what sense would I miss the most, smell or taste? With the 2024, it feels almost impossible to choose. The bouquet is utterly riveting - bottomless, brooding, and one of the purest expressions of Australian Shiraz imaginable. Layers of sweet, wild red and black fruits - plum, black cherry, blueberry and blackberry unfurl alongside crème de mûre, dark pastille fruits, bitter chocolate and a gentle whisper of coffee bean. The unmistakable marine signatures of iodine, nori and sea spray meld seamlessly with cooling graphite, violet, rose petal and iris. Bay leaf and liquorice add further intrigue. It is complex, certainly, but more importantly, it feels complete… nothing out of place.

The palate is where everything aligns. Silken, inky and beautifully pure - she glides rather than strides, delivering a rolling swell of sweet fruit wrapped in ribbons of fine, powdery tannins. There is impressive density here, yet it is carried with such grace it feels almost weightless. The influence of whole bunch and concrete egg maturation brings spice, sinew, and a wonderful sense of finesse, while a saline thread and vibrant acidity cut through the richness, providing precision and energy. It’s kinetic, composed, and effortlessly harmonious.

What I admire most is the quality of fruit - it does all the talking. This is not a wine chasing power, though it has it in abundance. Instead, it leans into purity, detail and quiet confidence. The concentration speaks of great Barossa Shiraz, yet the poise and elegance feel almost classical - Burgundy meeting Margaux in spirit yet unmistakably rooted in its ancient terroir.

Profound, composed and deeply moving, the 2024 Schubert Theorem is both immediately captivating and built for the long haul. This is not a wine to rush. Ten to fifteen years will reveal its full story, though even now it offers something deeply compelling. There is simply no other wine like Schubert Theorem. Each vintage feels like a moment - fleeting, extraordinary - and I, for one, feel incredibly fortunate to bear witness ahead of next month’s global launch. I do not add numbers to my tasting notes. That said… this truly deserves 100 points, every day of the week.”

2024 Standish Lamella

98 Points - Erin Larkin, The wine Advocate “The 2024 Lamella Shiraz features 100% whole bunches, as usual, and the wine offers a profusion of tannins, spice, layers of fruit and length. This is gravelly and mineral, with ferrous tannins, graphite and dried rose petals woven through the finish. There is also a note of raw cocoa. This is a wine that you feel as much as you taste and smell. The tannins linger on the palate and help the flavors remain firmly wedged in the memory. I can still taste from one sip to the next; the bridge between mouthfuls doesn't need to be bridged by memory—it is viscerally there. Notes of licorice, fennel, caraway and timut pepper (in that fresh, grapefruit, black tea, sage, resin, pink grapefruit again, delicate, simple/singular way) coat the finish. 14.9% alcohol, sealed under natural cork and wax.”

Stuart McCloskey, Tasted 22 April 2026 “I always approach Lamella with a touch of scepticism - yet it has a habit of disarming me completely. With the 2024, I suspect many will share that same moment of quiet astonishment. By God - the colour is magnificent, a work of art in itself. The new Farrow & Ball shade for 2026…

From the first swirl, the bouquet is intoxicating, heady, expansive, and utterly captivating. Very serious and commanding. A kaleidoscope of red and blue fruits - fresh raspberry, black cherry, plum and mulberry unfold into layers of cherry confit, raspberry liqueur, and the sweetest spice. Floral tones arrive in waves from the deepest iris, violet, to potpourri, and all lifted by hints of orange peel and a beautifully exotic edge. Beneath, a more serious undercurrent reveals itself - graphite, coal, wet stone and that unmistakable nori, marine signature. The ancient vines of Stonegarden (dating back to 1858) present themselves clearly; the layers of minerality are unmissable. There’s even a flicker of sage and meadow herbs. This is wildly complex, yet completely seamless… intoxicating doesn’t quite do it justice.

The palate is where Lamella earns its reputation. Creamy, velvety, almost indulgent in texture, yet held perfectly in check. A rolling swell of pure, sweet fruit coats the palate - raspberry, plum, blue fruits are framed by silky, suede-like tannins that provide both structure and finesse. The influence of whole bunch fermentation brings spice, energy and a beautiful savoury lift, while a mineral, granitic cadence runs through the core, keeping everything precise and focused. Despite the intensity, there is no struggle - everything exists in perfect harmony. It is powerful, yes, but never domineering… Instead, it seduces. What strikes me most is the balance between opulence and control. This is plush (undeniably) but it never tips into excess. The fruit quality is simply extraordinary, doing all the talking, supported by detail, poise and a sense of quiet confidence.

Profound and deeply moving, the 2024 Lamella is both an immediate pleasure and a wine built for the ages. Ten to fifteen years will reveal further layers of complexity, though it is already dangerously compelling. There is a magnetic quality here - one that draws you back, glass after glass. I’ll admit it… this may well be the vintage that changes everything for me. The best Lamella  I have sampled to date.”
