The 2025 Tim Smith Bugalugs Shiraz is a vibrant South Australian red showing blackberry, dark cherry and plum with cracked pepper, violet and subtle savoury spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and lively, with fresh acidity, supple tannins and layers of dark fruit, pepper and gentle earthy notes. The finish is dry, balanced and persistent.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Shiraz drinkers who enjoy generous dark fruit balanced by peppery spice and fresh structure. Best enjoyed over the next 4–7 years. Pair with chargrilled lamb backstrap, slow-cooked beef brisket, smoky eggplant moussaka or pepper-crusted kangaroo.
