Tim Smith is one of the Barossa’s best winemakers.

He's been making wine here for 35 years, for some of the biggest names including Yalumba, Chateau Tanunda and St Hallett.

He was named Barossa’s Winemaker of the Year in 2019, and won the IWSC trophy for the best Shiraz in the world in 2010.

Tim tells me the secret to this wines is his access to great fruit. For decades he’s worked with the region’s best family growers, doing business on a handshake in the pub on a Friday night. 

In the pack you’ll get six delicious Barossa wines at a price I can barely believe myself:

• 2x Bugalugs Shiraz 2022 - a classic Aussie Shiraz - ripe, bold and powerful, with plenty of sweet dark fruit and a savoury edge. It’s brilliant value because he declassifies fruit from his top wines into this blend. I’m reliably told Bugalugs is an Aussie term of endearment (if you can confirm, please do)
• 2x Barossa Shiraz 2021 - like many of the truly great Australian wines, this is a blend of multiple vineyards, located in the Barossa and Eden Valley. Each vineyard adds something unique to the blend, and their ages range from 30 to 145 years old! It’s matured in French oak, and bottled unfined and unfiltered - preserving all the amazing flavours and textures from the fruit
• 2x Eden Valley Riesling 2022 - think of this as your palate cleanser after those rich reds… it’s from a precious 100 year-old single vineyard, and with older vines you get great complexity and concentration in the grapes. It’s dry, refreshing and punchy - a perfect post-work quaffer (I speak from experience here)
