Description
2023 Global Fine Wine Challenge Gold Medallist! 100% Mataro. The great undervalued variety of Mataro, a Spanish synonym widely used in the Barossa for the French variety Mourvedre, has long held a fascination for Tim Smith.
“A blend of usually two vineyards from the floor of the Barossa Valley, one of them around 140 years of age, the other about 70 years of age. I age my Mataro in larger format older French barrels – usually 500 litre puncheons to slow down the maturation and decrease the oak influence.” - Tim Smith

What The Critics Say
"Aged in old French and Hungarian puncheons. Bloody and ferrous, a distinct ozone sort of thing here anyway, blackberry, orange peel, dried herb, spice and aniseed. It’s full-bodied, very purple, umami flavours are the thing, though there’s no shortage of bloody black fruit intensity, there’s a very firm juicy orange character to acidity, kind of tangy and zesty, which I think will settle with some bottle age. The finish is long and crammed with flavour. It’s a whole lotta Mataro."

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Tim Smith Wines
These days, Tim Smith Wines is one of Australia’s most awarded boutique wineries. Tim’s wines have collected medals all over Australia and around the world, and in 2019, he won the coveted Barons of the Barossa Winemaker of the Year award. It was a meaningful one for Tim, who feels deeply connected to the region. Tim’s wines include Barossa superstars Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro, as well as Viognier and Riesling from neighbouring Eden Valley. He sources grapes from some of the best vineyards in the Barossa, working closely with the families who tend them. “My approach to making great wine is to get good grape growers, because they do the hard work; they understand that stuff,” says Tim. “And then, in the winery, it’s kind of a hands-off approach. We don’t overwork the wines.
