Grey Sands Vineyards The Mattock 2016 from Tasmania is a compelling Bordeaux-style blend featuring Merlot (60%), Malbec (30%), and Cabernet Franc (10%). This deep red wine opens with enticing aromas of blueberry, boysenberry, and cassis, complemented by hints of verdant garden herbs and subtle liniment notes. On the palate, it delivers powerful structure and texture, showcasing dark plums, cherries, and redcurrants with an astringent grip that provides a long, satisfying finish.

The 2016 Grey Sands The Mattock is ideal for pairing with richly flavoured dishes such as roast lamb, slow-cooked beef, and wild mushroom dishes where its muscular yet balanced character can complement and elevate the meal. This wine demonstrates both power and finesse, perfect for those who appreciate bold, textural reds from Tasmania with cellaring potential.
