Crafted by winemaker Geoff Thompson, the Basilisk by McPherson Shiraz Mourvèdre 2012 is an enigmatic blend of cool-climate spicy Shiraz combined with mild climate full-bodied Shiraz, finely tempered by the savoury tannins of Mourvèdre.
Rich and brooding, this Shiraz Mourvèdre blend exhibits smoky dark fruits, pepper, earth and oak aromas. The ripe and powerful palate is balanced by a great acid and tannin profile showing sweet spice, earth and dried herb over charry oak, leaving an elegant impression.
