Bass Phillip is recognized by many observers as the finest pinot noir producer in Australia.
Established in 1979 by Phillip Jones, Bass Phillip specialises in producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Driven by their respect for nature and biodynamic farming, grape growing and winemaking are uncompromising in their attention to detail and quality.
Low intervention in the vineyard and in the cellar permits the wines to show flavours and characteristics of the region – length, complexity, balanced acidity, lovely minerality, and with a certain polish and character that makes them truly extraordinary vintage after vintage.

Similar colour to Premium; the family plum and spice fruit core is here on the bouquet and entry to the palate, but it is at this stage that the surge and thrust through to the finish puts it in a class above the Crown Prince, the finish and aftertaste wonderfully long.
