    The Bass Phillip Premium Pinot Noir 2021 is a stunning expression of Gippsland’s unique terroir, showcasing the elegance and complexity that Bass Phillip is known for. This wine is the epitome of Pinot Noir—offering an aromatic bouquet of fragrant rose petals, red berries, and a delicate hint of China tea, which are the hallmark scents of a truly refined Pinot. On the palate, it reveals a lush fruit-driven mid-palate, enveloped by fine, powdery tannins that add structure and complexity. The wine dances delicately across the palate with layers of red cherry, raspberry, and winter strawberry, further enhanced by subtle earthy notes and a touch of spicy cedar.

    Bass Phillip’s meticulous winemaking process ensures that only the best barrels are selected for this release, with 38% of the wine aged in new oak. After 14 months of ageing, the wine is gravity decanted with no fining or filtration, resulting in a wine that is pure, vibrant, and capable of ageing gracefully for the next few years. The finish is fresh, with finely integrated tannins and a bright, red-fruited aftertaste that lingers long after the last sip. Drink now or cellar until 2026 for further complexity.

    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.
