Tim Smith has long been considered one of the Barossa Valley’s finest winemakers, with a focus on showcasing the region’s time proven varietals, namely; Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro. Tim’s Smith Bugalugs range of wines offer some of the most reliable and best value red wines from the Barossa. 

This 2022 Tim Smith Bugalugs Shiraz is another super impressive offering that will only enhance the reputation of this ever-popular wine. Bottled earlier than the Tim Smith’s Estate Shiraz, this was aged primarily in older American and French oak. The result is an utterly delicious, approachable Barossa Shiraz with delicious fruit vibrancy, balance and an all round excellent drink – particularly at this price.

“It’s such a lovely medium-weight Shiraz, of herbaceous and floral perfume, ample fruit and just an easy balance of juicy and crunchy, so easy to drink. Blackberries and raspberries, basil leaf, cumin, green pepper. Fresh and succulent. Very good. 92 Points Tasted: Jun23 14.5% alc. $30 Screwcap Drink: 2023 – 2030″- Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front.
