The 2024 Tim Smith Bugalugs Shiraz is a vibrant and approachable Barossa Shiraz crafted to showcase the variety’s juicy fruit and unmistakable regional character. Sourced from selected Barossa vineyards, the wine is made in a fresh, fruit-driven style with minimal oak influence, delivering generous flavour, soft tannins and effortless drinkability. It’s a modern take on Barossa Shiraz that balances richness with freshness.
The nose reveals aromas of blackberry, plum and black cherry alongside hints of black pepper, liquorice and subtle baking spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with ripe dark berry fruit supported by silky tannins and lively acidity. Smooth, generous and beautifully balanced, it finishes with lingering dark fruit, gentle spice and a savoury edge.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A versatile Barossa Shiraz that offers outstanding value and everyday appeal. Its ripe fruit and soft texture make it an excellent match for gourmet burgers, grilled lamb, barbecue, pizza, pasta and hard cheeses. Enjoy now and over the next 5–7 years while its vibrant fruit and approachable style are at their best.
