Tim Smith Wines M.G.S Mataro Grenache Shiraz 2024 from the Barossa is a vibrant, modern red that puts Mataro in the driver’s seat, delivering savoury depth wrapped around plush, juicy fruit in a seriously drinkable style. The nose is packed with black plum, blueberry and sour cherry, layered with meaty spice, dark earth and a lifted licorice note. On the palate it’s slippery and bright, with a core of blue and black fruits framed by gritty, mouth‑coating tannins that keep everything focused and food‑friendly.

This Tim Smith MGS 2024 shows lovely balance between generosity and structure, finishing long, dry and moreish with a subtle mineral twang that keeps you coming back for another sip.

It’s a natural fit for slow‑braised lamb shoulder, chargrilled beef ribs, gourmet sausages or a loaded wood‑fired pizza, and will also shine alongside mushroom ragù or hard cheeses at the end of the night.
