    The Bass Phillip Estate Pinot Noir 2018 is a beautifully crafted expression of Gippsland’s unique terroir. With a slightly cloudy red hue and light red edges, this Pinot Noir presents a delightful bouquet of red and sour cherries, strawberry, and rose petal, intermingling with delicate forest floor aromas, fresh herbs, and spicy cedar. These complex fragrances lay the foundation for a vibrant and dynamic palate, where delicious red cherry and winter strawberry fruits dance alongside notes of red raspberry and sour cherry. The wine’s lively acidity enhances the freshness, while the elements of forest floor, herbs, and cedar provide depth and intrigue.

    The finish is crisp, fresh, and zingy, with silk-like tannins that are finely integrated, contributing to a long, bright, red-fruited aftertaste. This wine is a true reflection of its origins, with vibrant fruit and an elegant structure that promises a drinking window of 5-6 years, making it ideal for those seeking a balanced, expressive Pinot Noir to enjoy now or cellar for future enjoyment.

    Bass Phillip

    The story of Bass Phillip began in the early 1970s when the first vineyard site was selected 15 kilometres south of Leongatha, based on climatic and topographical observations. The location benefits from South Gippsland's unique conditions—mountains to the north and the ocean to the south—creating the ideal environment for slow grape ripening. In 1998, a 7.5-hectare vineyard was planted in Leongatha’s hinterland, primarily featuring Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, along with small plantings of Gewurztraminer and Nebbiolo. Together, these plantings total over 10 hectares of closely managed, low-yielding vines that produce wines with depth, length, and complexity.

    Bass Phillip has embraced organic practices since 1993 and biodynamic farming since 2002. The vineyard's natural processes, including no irrigation and meticulous canopy management, allow the terroir to shine in the wines. The deep, mineral-rich soils combined with South Gippsland's climate contribute to the unique flavour profile of Bass Phillip’s wines, which are made using minimal intervention and traditional winemaking methods. Founder Phillip Jones spent years refining his craft before entering the Australian market, where his Pinot Noirs have earned top accolades from both local and international critics. Today, Bass Phillip’s Pinot Noirs are among Australia’s most sought-after, sold on allocation and rarely seen on the secondary market.
