Bass Phillip Gewurztraminer has a very small production and was originally created as a "hobby wine". It boasts strong varietal and floral aromas, along with a refreshing and deep taste. The natural acidity provides a solid backbone and the pronounced minerality adds to its complexity. The palate is long and satisfying. After four years in the bottle, this wine tends to develop a chewy texture and a fuller body. The grapes for this wine come from the Leongatha Vineyard, which has 9,000 vines per hectare. The vineyard uses small plot cropping at around 1.0 tonne per acre. The resulting wine is gentle and possesses good acidity. It is often fermented in oak and aged for approximately 12 months in stainless steel.
The Bass Phillip Gewurztraminer 2016 is a wine that takes a moment to reveal its true character. Initially shy, it opens up with delicate lychee fruit, lime leaf and unripe apricot aromas. On the palate, it is spicy and dry with a lovely balance of fruit and acidity. The wine is medium-bodied with medium acidity, some fruitiness, low tannins, medium alcohol and a hint of oak. It has a long finish that leaves a pleasant aftertaste. This wine is made from the Gewürztraminer grape and hails from the Gippsland region of Australia. Bass Phillip, the winemaker, has produced a vegan wine using traditional production methods. The wine is best enjoyed within 3-5 years of its vintage date, allowing it to reach its full potential. Overall, this Gewurztraminer is a delightful wine that will please both novice and experienced wine drinkers alike.
