The 2024 Tim Smith Barossa Rosé is a vibrant dry rosé crafted from Mataro grown in the Barossa Valley. Produced in Tim Smith’s signature fresh and contemporary style, the wine highlights the variety’s bright red fruit and savoury character while retaining crisp acidity and refreshing balance. Gentle handling and cool fermentation preserve its purity, making it an ideal wine for warm weather and relaxed entertaining.
The nose reveals aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and watermelon alongside hints of rose petal and citrus zest. The palate is light, crisp and beautifully balanced, with juicy red berry fruit supported by refreshing acidity and a subtle savoury finish. Bright, dry and effortlessly drinkable, it finishes clean with lingering freshness and delicate spice.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A fresh and versatile Barossa rosé that is perfect for long lunches and summer gatherings. Its vibrant fruit and crisp finish make it an excellent match for grilled prawns, charcuterie, Mediterranean salads, sushi, roast chicken and soft cheeses. Serve well chilled and enjoy now through 2027 while its youthful freshness and lively fruit are at their best.
