Tim Smith Bugalugs Blanc 2025

“A blend of grenache blanc, marsanne and roussanne. Nashi pear, custard apple, waxed lemon rind, jasmine and dried chamomile. You live or die by how you handle phenolics in a wine like this, and Smith is a master. There’s a firm phenolic grip, but it’s the kind that guides not strangles. Serious white wine with beautiful texture, deft balance and drinkability.” 96 points – Nick Ryan, The Australian
