The 2024 Tim Smith Bugalugs Grenache is a bright and approachable Barossa Grenache that celebrates the variety’s vibrant fruit and easy-drinking charm. Sourced from old-vine vineyards across the Barossa Valley, it is crafted with minimal oak influence to highlight purity, freshness and the naturally juicy character of Grenache. The Bugalugs range is all about delivering maximum flavour with effortless drinkability.
The nose reveals aromas of raspberry, red cherry and wild strawberry alongside hints of rose petal, white pepper and subtle spice. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, with lively red berry fruit supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity. Juicy, smooth and beautifully balanced, it finishes with delicate savoury notes and impressive energy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A fresh, fruit-driven Grenache that is perfect for relaxed entertaining. Its bright fruit and silky texture make it an excellent match for charcuterie, wood-fired pizza, grilled lamb, roast chicken and Mediterranean cuisine. Enjoy now and over the next 4–6 years while its vibrant fruit and youthful freshness are at their peak.
