Tim Smith Barossa Shiraz

“Anything up to 12 vineyards go into this wine. it’s typically a blend of approx. 50/50 Barossa and Eden Valleys. The Barossa Valley provides the engine room for the palate, the Eden Valley components provide the lifted aromatics. Mostly French oak, and mostly 500 litre puncheons to slow down the oak uptake and preserve aromatics. The Barossa’s calling card variety; some people outside of our region think it’s all we do but anyhow…” - Tim Smith

Review: 94 points (Australian Wine Review)

“Tim always get such great colour in his reds. Yet they’re soft edged, generous and gentle wines, rather than something angular and reductive which happens with bright young reds. This Shiraz – a blend of Eden & Barossa Valley fruit is so round, siken and lavish, with this seamless flow of purple berried (blue and black berries) fruit with chocolate vanilla oak further smoothing the edges. Undeniably rich and full bodied but seamless and never ott. Hard not to like this Barossan expression – it’s a delight.” – Andrew Graham
