Tim Smith Bugalugs Blanc 2025 from Tim Smith Wines in the Barossa Valley is a cracking, Rhône‑inspired white that takes Grenache Blanc, Marsanne and Roussanne and turns them into a seriously textural, food‑loving blend with freshness, spice and loads of personality.

In the glass, this 2025 Tim Smith Bugalugs Blanc is packed with nashi pear, custard apple, waxed lemon rind, jasmine and dried chamomile, backed by honeysuckle, poached pear, stonefruit, apricot and a gentle ginger spice thread. The palate is supple and creamy yet bright, with a firm phenolic grip that guides rather than strangles, delivering beautiful texture, balance and moreish drinkability.

This Bugalugs Blanc 2025 is built for the weekend – think richer seafood (crab, scallops, garlic prawns), roast chook, pork with crackling, creamy pasta or soft‑rind cheeses where its shape and texture can really shine. It’s also a brilliant option for sharing with friends over mezze plates and grilled Mediterranean vegetables.
