The 2024 Tim Smith M.G.S. is a vibrant Rhône-inspired blend of Mataro, Grenache and Shiraz from the Barossa Valley. A signature wine of Tim Smith Wines, it brings together the savoury structure of Mataro, the bright fruit of Grenache and the richness of Shiraz in a style that is both generous and beautifully balanced. Crafted with a light touch, it showcases the freshness and drinkability of modern Barossa reds while retaining plenty of regional character.
The nose reveals aromas of blackberry, raspberry and plum alongside notes of violets, black pepper, dried herbs and subtle spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with juicy dark and red berry fruit supported by fine tannins and lively acidity. Smooth and expressive, it finishes long with hints of liquorice, savoury herbs and gentle spice.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A wonderfully versatile Barossa blend that combines richness, freshness and outstanding drinkability. Its vibrant fruit and savoury complexity make it an excellent match for grilled lamb, barbecue, charcuterie, wood-fired pizza and Mediterranean cuisine. Enjoy now and over the next 6–8 years while its fruit and spice remain beautifully balanced.
