Tim Smith Wines Bugalugs Grenache Barossa Valley, Australia 2021

Producer: Tim Smith Wines

Grape: Grenache

Where: Barossa Valley

Country: Australia

Taste: Powerful and elegant. The fruit shows excellent intensity with nice acid levels, and elegant structure with depth and length of flavor. A blend of two vineyards each boasting 85+ years of age, juicy raspberries and blueberries dance. So joyous and pretty, it sees old French oak and is bottled unfined and unfiltered. Aromas of blueberries and pretty purple flowers sing. Graceful and delightful, soft spices curl around the mouth reaching long. The vibrance screams purity and class.

“I source Grenache from three vineyards on the ‘floor’ of the Barossa Valley for making this wine. It’s usually based however off of vineyard planted in 1937. I try and pick Grenache early – not as result of trying to necessarily make lower alcohol wines, but to preserve natural acidity, which in turn gives this wine its freshness.” - Tim Smith

Aged in seasoned large French oak barrels.
