Founded in 1999 by Dan Standish, a pivotal figure in the Barossa, the company has gained renown for its exceptional offerings. After leaving Torbreck in 2000—shortly before it achieved Langton’s Classified status—Standish co-founded Massena, a label instrumental in redefining modern Barossa Valley winemaking. His expertise extends internationally, having made wine in California’s Napa and Sonoma Valleys, Spain’s Rioja, and France’s Rhone Valley. Standish's goal is to highlight the Barossa's finest vineyards with wines that marry power and finesse. He has earned a reputation for creating wines with a distinctive 'X-factor,' showcasing both his skill and the unique terroirs of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blend contains just a hint of Viognier, not enough to be declared but enough to make an impact.
