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.

This is the true Bass Phillip flagship, made in much the same way as the Estate, predominantly from the MV6 clone, matured in lightly toasted, very tight-grained Allier oak from Francois Freres. It has greater foresty complexity, exceptional texture, and extreme length; 300 dozen made.
