Mon Tout Long Play 2020 Margaret River WAMon Tout Long Play 2020
Sauvignon Blanc & Chardonnay from Margaret River, Pinot Gris & Riesling from Mt Barker.
Fermented and matured in old French oak puncheons and ceramic eggs.
Winemaking
Pinot Gris – bags of whole bunches fermented in ceramic eggs.
Chardonnay – whole bunch pressed to big old French oak puncheons to ferment and then relax for a few months.
Sauvignon Blanc – high solids natural ferment in stainless steel barrels.
Riesling – natural ferment in tank with low juice solids at a cool cellar temperature.
Tasting Notes
What each grape brings to the blend – Pinot Gris for the exotic sweet spice, guava fruit and a slippery texture. Chardonnay fills the middle palate with ripe melon flavours and all round generosity. Sauvignon Blanc for its vibrancy and unmistakable notes of gooseberry, sweet herbs and elderflower. Riesling brings wet stone and citrus zest to tighten things up and give length and finish.
Subtle, exceedingly complex, a wine worth exploring for its intricate yet seamless meld of so many flavours and textures. Both slippery and silky in palate texture with an overlay of anise, elderflower and sweet herbs with fruit notes of guava, gooseberry, melon and a refreshing mineral and citrus zest finish.

Uva Non Grata Gamay 2019 France
Uva Non Grata Gamay 2019 FranceUva Non Grata Gamay 2019 “Uva Non Grata (Latin for ‘ungrateful grapes’) refers to the historical downgrading of Gamay while Pinot Noir became the ascendant of the two grapes in Burgundy. Gamay loves the granite/siliceous soils of the vineyards in the hills to the north west of Lyon in eastern France. 2018 brought glorious sunshine and the grapes were hand picked deliberately early to maintain freshness. In the cellar, grapes are vinified using traditional carbonic maceration techniques followed by a short cuvasion to keep the upfront, juicy fruit characters in this lighter style of wine.” – Importer’s note

Aromas of blue and black fruit, a hint of spice and a palate packed with flavour. Fresh acidity and some peppery, earthy characters through the finish.
Established in 2001, and with 33 years of hands on experience, Tim Smith Wines is a Barossa Valley-based producer of wines that we consider our region to excel at growing. We make only the wines we genuinely enjoy drinking ourselves (sorry, Rosé drinkers).
We are unashamedly influenced by the great producers of both the North and South Rhone Valley in France, but have a New World understanding of the techniques that we believe work best in our region.
This understanding comes as a result of working as a winemaker with some of our regions most respected wineries, and numerous overseas vintages in a number of countries; always watching, always learning, and always challenging even our own winemaking approach.
Our wines are at once rich, polished, and structured for longevity, but with a brightness of fruit that invites early drinking.
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..

La Petite Mort VMR Qvevri 2019 Queensland Granite Belt
La Petite Mort VMR Qvevri 2019 Queensland Granite BeltLa Petite Mort VMR Qvevri 2019
La Petite Mort V.M.R. – whole berries of Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne fermented in terra cotta amphora for 161 days – skins and all!! This “amber wine” (aka orange – but not to be confused with wine from Orange) is definitely something out of the ordinary. The Viognier gives fruit and perfume while the Marsanne lends it’s waxy texture and the Roussanne gives a hint of savouriness. This wine is bottled un-fined and un-filtered so a little bit of sediment is both likely and intentional.

Cirillo 1850 Ancestor Grenache 2014 South Australia Barossa Valley
Cirillo 1850 Ancestor Grenache 2014 South Australia Barossa ValleyThis ancient Grenache block is one of the viticultural gems of Australia. Gnarled old bush vines planted in 1850, and arguably the oldest continuously producing Grenache vines in the world. The things they’ve seen from their low, sandy vantage point. It boggles the mind.
The Cirillo 1850 Grenache 2014 has been a long anticipated release. Marco Cirillo says he learnt plenty about picking the 2011 (cooler) vintage of this wine. He learnt he could pick a little earlier, look for more freshness, and still keep the weight and power that comes from 160+ year old vines.
It’s a special wine, no doubt about it. A rarity in all the world to have a wine made from vines this old. A great year for this great site and Marco in career best form. It’s a winning combination.
