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.
95 Points Halliday Wine Companion
Full bodied, ripe and rich, with tannins seemingly layered and fine grained, the spicy oak a support act, concentrated and deep yet there’s such freshness and vibrancy within thanks to the acidity. The palate builds, the finish lingers and you hope someone pours you another glass. Beautifully poised yet will garner more complexity in time.
