A 6th generation Barossan, Dan Standish established his eponymous winery in 1999 whilst still working as winemaker at Torbreck Vintners. His endeavour initially began around an ancient parcel of Shiraz owned and farmed by his father. All batches of fruit are fermented and matured individually then follows a strict selection in the winery that can see as much as 80% of the original blend discarded and sold off in bulk.
As with the finest producers in Europe only the finest material is sold under the Standish Wine Company label. Stylistically Dan's wines are as rich and profound as you would expect from Barossa Valley old vines but they have a satin texture and dreamy perfume that sets them far apart from his contemporaries. Here, dark fruits are encased in cocoa and earthy richness but with gentle spice, soil tone, asphalt and a stony minerality that gives the wines a beautiful dimension. These are special Australian wines!

Top 10 Australian Chardonnays future DECIDED!
16 mei 2024 · 22 min
Embarking his 20th vintage in Yarra Valley Toolangi winemaker Kaspar Hermann knows a thing or two about getting the best from a Chardonnay grape. Lees meer
Marrying into a wine making family, and taking a viticulture course himself in his teens, wine is where he was destined to be and after vintages with Seville Estate, Rochford and Mount Mary, Toolangi came calling. Taking over the reigns from legendary winemakers Rick Kinzbrunner, Franco D'Anna, David Bicknell and Willy Lunn his first vintage in 2019 was made somewhat easier by starting during the harvest and the pressure of making calls about the canopy and crop being delayed until 2020.
In this episode of Got Somme: Master Sommelier Carlos Santos and wine lover Angus O'Loughlin talk about the Toolangi Takeover, the importance of 'F Block Chardonnay' and the world stage Kaspar dreams to take his wines.

“Victoria’s BEST wine region!” Revealed in 3...2...1... 🍷
1 februari 2024 · 26 min
Chardonnay can be a divisive wine when really it shouldn't! If you don't like Chardonnay chances are you probably just don't like over oaked Chardonnay. Lees meer
The grape variety itself is actually neutral and if you were to taste a Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Chardonnay next to a William Fevre Petit Chablis you would be mistaken for thinking they are two completely different grape varietals.
The difference? Oak
One with plenty and one without any!
In this episode of Got Somme, Yarra Valley local Brenden Robnik aka 'The Wine Animal' joins us in studio to deep dive his favourite Australian wine region while also looking at the complex differences altitude can make on Chardonnay separated only by a few kilometres.
Disagree that the Yarra Valley is the best wine region in Victoria?

96 point wine for $33! The value bottle that impressed a Master Sommelier
18 januari 2024 · 33 min
Late last year Got Somme host Angus O'Loughlin was asked via our Instagram Lees meer
"What bottle would you cellar for ten years"
He held up a 2021 Demi Shiraz that he was drinking in that moment.
That led to a phone call to Syrahmi owner Adam Foster who was inspecting the vines and they confirmed his studio attendance as first winemaker on the podcast in 2024!
Bottles brought into studio:
2022 Demi Shiraz
2017 Lala
2018 LaLa
2022 Syrahmi 'Angus'
2004 Syrahmi (first ever vintage)
A bit of Syrahmi: The name Syrahmi is a made up from “Syrah” the French word for Shiraz and “Ami” meaning friend. The idea being a “friendly Shiraz” or “A friend of Shiraz”. Syrahmi began in 2004 when Adam Foster gave up his day job as a Chef to pursue his dream of becoming a wine maker. He purchased his first tonne and a half of grapes from Heathcote winery and the dream was born. Each year grapes for Syrahmi are sourced and selected from different vineyards in the Heathcote region. Thus each year the wines are given a different name to reflect the vintage.

“NEVER drink champagne out of a flute” | Krug Champagne

The text message from Carlos read: "Oh mate... if we can get Olivier it will be HUGE!" Lees meer
The schedule was tight, 20 minutes only, to quiz the sixth generation of the founding family of Krug and it's current Director Olivier Krug. Carlos reminisces on his first experience in France at the vineyard, the incredible bottle of wine he was lucky enough to taste and how each glass should taste like a symphony of flavours.
Truly one of our favourite moments this year is Olivier describing how each Cuvee is created and how the "ego's" of some vintages need to be managed.
Raise a glass... but not a flute
(that makes sense when you watch this episode)

HIDDEN in his Cellar was this $$$ Bottle
2 november 2023 · 27 min
Imagine being gifted a wine and not realising it's value - they make less than 300 bottles each year! Lees meer
Hiding in Angus' cellar at home was this bottle of wine and YOU could win it. After discovering the gem in his collection while speaking with Yarra Yering winemaker Sarah Crowe the boys decide to deep dive the world of 'Carrodus' Wines bringing this Masterclass on a true Yarra Yering icon.
This wine isn't made any year. It's created out of a small, historic parcel of vines on the Yarra Yering site. It's only made in exceptional conditions and only when the grapes aren't required for the No1 or No2 wines.
Also listen out for the vintage Sarah describes as "The Goat" and then keep your eyes out for it on auction, bottle shops or wine lists.

We were BLOWN AWAY by the quantity and QUALITY of this wine tasting! Ten Minutes by Tractor 🚜🍷 Lees meer
Owner Martin Spedding brings in an unreleased (at time of recording) Chardonnay called 'SV3' and we are the first in the WORLD to taste the wine outside of the staff at the vineyard and Martin's own family.
A true honour!
Ten Minutes by Tractor is a winery on the Mornington Peninsula. It is the convergence of wine journeys that began almost 40 years ago with a group of individuals and vineyards that fortuitously came together over time to create the winery that exists today.

Master Sommelier’s WORST nightmare… CORKED bottle of wine 🤢
14 juli 2023 · 17 min
$120 down the drain! Lees meer
"Corked" wine does not mean a wine with small pieces of cork floating around in the glass. It is a word for a wine that has become contaminated with cork taint. In the worst instances, the wine tastes of nothing but mould – which should be obvious.
BUT what if it isn't?
How do you identify when a bottle of wine has gone bad?
We are here to educate and alleviate that fear as we accidently experience first hand what a corked wine smells and tastes like, demonstrate how it can be easy to distinguish between a regular bottle and the steps you can take when asking for a refund.
NEVER in over 60 Episodes has this happened OR SHOULD IT!
Join Angus, Carlos and some brand new faces for this episode of Got Somme
Watch the reactions on our faces the moment we realise it's corked!
