Bugalugs Shiraz | Barossa
Beautiful Barossa. Medium bodied, it has the classic regional characters of spicy, plummy fruit and black pepper with soft finishing tannins.
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.
Bugalugs Shiraz is made using traditional winemaking techniques, and is the result of a barrel selection of eight parcels originally destined for Tim's two elite Barossa Shiraz releases. From vineyards that are up to 100 years old, this wine is matured in predominantly older (French) oak for between 6-12 months before bottling.
