Grey Sands make some of the best and unique wines in Tasmania. This Merlot is a triumph and leads the pack of a vanguard of Merlot producers in Australia.
A nose of earth, plum and milk chocolate with a sweetness of spice that evolves in the glass that borders on cigar box, there are background notes of olive and brine.
Impact of tight grain French oak is felt on the palate and gives a suppleness and sweetness to drying and earthen tannins.
Plum is the dominant fruit with subtle olive ad understed leather. The finish has textural grip and presence that will last for many years to come.
