Tim Smith

Barossa Mediterranean varieties rated by major critics.

Tim Smith operates in the Barossa, South Australia's most celebrated warm-climate region. The winery focuses on Mediterranean and Rhône varieties suited to the region's intense sun and deep soils. The TSW Mataro, a single-varietal expression of the Spanish grape, anchors the portfolio at 91.5 average prestige rating across Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The Barossa Shiraz (91.1) captures the region's signature power and ripeness, while the Bugalugs Grenache (90.6) rounds out a lineup built on varieties that thrive in Barossa's continental heat. These wines have been assessed by major critics and reflect the winery's commitment to the old-vine character and bold fruit expression the region is known for.
