96 Points, Nick Ryan, The Australian "A blend of grenache blanc, marsanne and roussanne. Nashi pear, custard apple, waxed lemon rind, jasmine and dried chamomile. You live or die by how you handle phenolics in a wine like this, and Smith is a master. There’s a firm phenolic grip, but it’s the kind that guides not strangles. Serious white wine with beautiful texture, deft balance and drinkability." - Oct 2025 ABOUT TIM SMITH WINES - THE REAL THING “I just believe in everything we do at Tim Smith Wines,” says Tim. “If my business goes bankrupt, I’ll end up with some stock and I’ll have to drink it. So I better enjoy it. And I really only want to enjoy authentic, well-crafted, well-thought-out wines from places of serious pedigree.” These days, Tim Smith Wines is one of Australia’s most awarded boutique wineries. Tim’s wines have collected medals all over Australia and around the world, and in 2019, he won the coveted Barons of the Barossa Winemaker of the Year award. It was a meaningful one for Tim, who feels deeply connected to the region. Tim’s wines include Barossa superstars Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro, as well as Viognier and Riesling from neighbouring Eden Valley. He sources grapes from some of the best vineyards in the Barossa, working closely with the families who tend them. “My approach to making great wine is to get good grape growers, because they do the hard work; they understand that stuff,” says Tim. “And then, in the winery, it’s kind of a hands-off approach. We don’t overwork the wines.”
