The BEST Shiraz in the WORLD 🌍

Podcast cover

Got Somme : Master Sommelier's Wine Podcast

The Standish Wine Company produces highly sought-after, limited-production Shiraz, with the Lamella and the rare Andelmonde standing out as exceptional examples. The Andelmonde, released only when conditions are perfect, offers a unique profile characterized by floral, violet, and graphite notes, distinct from the more expressive, jammy Lamella. These wines, often rated at 100 points, command significant interest despite their scarcity and specific purchasing requirements. Beyond the tasting notes, the experience of consuming iconic wines versus high-quality, rare bottles reveals how brand prestige influences consumer perception. Proper aeration for these complex Shiraz remains essential, as patience and time are required to fully appreciate their depth, structure, and long-term aging potential. The inclusion of guest tasters Elliot Garnaut and Isaac Smith further underscores the broad appeal and distinct character of these Australian wines.
