Winemaker Notes:  The GSM blend is a popular one all over the globe, but it isn't too often that you find the M before the G. This one is Mataro/Mourvedre dominant, giving it a deep, bold broodiness. It's definitely a cracker of a wine, full of energy, dark berries and spice. It'll also stand the test of time in the cellar, if you can resist the urge to drink it now. 

Tim Smith Wines was established concurrent to a 20+ year winemaking career working for some of the best Barossa Valley based wine producers, as well as numerous overseas vintages in France, Portugal, and New Zealand. These producers include in the Barossa; Yalumba, St Hallett, Charles Melton, Chateau Tanunda. In McLaren Vale; Tatachilla. In France; Chapoutier, Gabriel Meffre and Domaine du Mandeville. In Portugal: Cortes de Cima and Azamor. In New Zealand; Nautilus. Born in a ‘light bulb moment’ on a study tour to France’s Rhone Valley, Tim Smith Wines was established in 2001 with our first vintage in 2002. We are still unashamedly heavily influenced by the wines of the Rhone Valley, but with a very healthy respect for our regional Barossa wine style. We see no point in trying to reinvent the wheel when the wine styles and regionality we enjoy in the Barossa has been around for nearly 180 years; the region must be doing something right. However-the wine geek in me cant help tinkering and responding to our different yearly vintage challenges. Just as importantly-we want to try and demystify a lot of the elitism about wine: it’s a social lubricant after all; it should be fun.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "This Mataro (aka Mourvèdre)-led blend is lucid and detailed, sketching a picture of each variety. It opens with woodsy, charred notes, like campfire embers, with slate and dried autumn leaves amidst supple blue and red fruit and peppery spice. The palate is silky with plump blue fruit and earthy, well-integrated tannins. It's a round, sunshine-tinged style but there's a cool, modern edge."


Vinous - "This well-pitched 2022 M.G.S., a Barossan Mataro-based blend, offers upfront power and subtlety thanks to its mix of licorice, mulberry, old leather, and peppery spice aromas. An attractive combination of juicy acidity and sandy tannins is well integrated with dark berry flavors and a lingering finish. This is a mid-week Barossan, cooked to perfection."
