Tim Smith- Bugalugs Barossa Shiraz 2023 (750ml)

Tim Smith’s 2023 Bugalugs Shiraz delivers a vibrant, modern take on Barossa Valley’s signature style—balancing generous fruit with freshness and lift. Known for his deft touch with Shiraz, Smith captures the region’s intensity while keeping the wine approachable and energetic.

The nose bursts with ripe blackberries and plums, underscored by a crack of black pepper. On the palate, subtle earthy tones and a hint of mocha add dimension, elevating it beyond a purely fruit-driven profile. Soft, velvety tannins provide gentle structure, allowing the wine’s lively character to shine through.

Rich yet easygoing, this is a quintessential Barossa Shiraz with a playful edge—perfect alongside grilled meats, barbecued ribs, or a casual slice of pizza. A crowd-pleasing red that delivers both depth and drinkability.
