Tim Smith was Barossa’s Winemaker of the Year in 2019. Tim has a long winemaking history and has made wines under the Tim Smith label for 13+ years. Sourcing fruit from old vines (100+ yrs) across Barossa, his wines are superb expressions of the variety Barossa soils have to offer. Focus is on traditional Rhone varietals and hands-off winemaking. Wild yeast, mostly old oak, no fining/filtration. Total annual production around 5,000 cases.
From a sandy vineyard planted in 1950, with a very small percentage of Mataro (Mourvedre) planted in 1880 (that's not a typo). Grapes are handpicked in mid-March and then wild fermented. The wine is aged for a brief six months in 6+ year French oak hogsheads. No fining, no filtration. 450 cases made.
