One of the Barossa's most skilled winemakers, Tim Smith retains a clear focus on the region's proven varietals. Purposefully Mataro dominant, the 2024 Tim Smith Mataro Grenache Shiraz delivers the plush fruit flavours that we've loved in previous vintages. Meaty, spicy, floral, blue and black fruits, some liquorice too. It’s medium to full-bodied, spicy juicy dark berries, supple tannin, a little orange peel and aromatic dried herb, and a long savoury finish. A Barossa red wine with an enormous amount of charm, this is another ripping release from Tim Smith. "96 Points. Another testament to the Smith touch, that rare ability to overdeliver without trying too hard. Black plums and blueberries; a fine, sour cherry edge. Sarsaparilla, dark earth, licorice, baked quince. Sucking copper coins through split lips. Plush and slippery on the palate, disciplined by beautifully gritty tannins. Find me a better red at this price. I dare you."- Nick Ryan, The Australian Weekend.
