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.
98 Points James Halliday
Bright purple-crimson; the class, the breed, the quality of this wine take a millisecond to express themselves as you take this wine into your mouth to confirm what the bouquet has semaphored. It has superb length, balance and harmony, red fruits, spices, fine tannins and oak (you know it has to be there) all in a seamless weaving of silk and satin.
