Smith's Lane Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz

Smith’s Lane Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022 is a big, bold and generous Barossa shiraz that packs dark, juicy fruit into a full‑bodied, crowd‑pleasing frame at sharp value.

In the glass it shows scarlet colour with russet tones, and aromas of dark plum and blackberry that shout classic Barossa. The palate is full and juicy, loaded with plush dark fruits and supported by easy, rounded tannins, giving you a rich, satisfying shiraz that’s made to drink well young rather than sit in the cellar for decades.

As an Adelaide‑based sommelier, I’d be pouring Smith’s Lane Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022 with grilled rib‑eye, lamb chops, barbecue ribs or a meaty pizza – anything that likes dark fruit, weight and a bit of shiraz swagger. It’s the sort of Barossa red you open for a big, relaxed dinner when you want flavour first and foremost.
