Fermented with 100% whole bunches and aged in French oak, 50% new, for 14 months. Given all that, weaker sites would produce something weedy and astringent. Not this. Sure, it’s stemmy with bitter herbs, but it’s also superbly integrated because at its heart is excellent fruit, all sweet and tangy. A little smokiness comes through, aniseed, almost pastis-like, umami\/Vegemite and oak spices with raw silk tannins sashaying across the fuller-bodied palate.

Not surprising given he was a protégé of the late, great Henri Jayer, who did the same. So, here it is – Depuis 23, which means 'since' in French (as in this style started in ‘23). Fermented with 100% whole bunches and aged in French oak, 50% new, for 14 months. Given all that, weaker sites would produce something weedy and astringent. Not this. Sure, it’s stemmy with bitter herbs, but it’s also superbly integrated because at its heart is excellent fruit, all sweet and tangy. A little smokiness comes through, aniseed, almost pastis-like, umami\/Vegemite and oak spices with raw silk tannins sashaying across the fuller-bodied palate. There’s a density and richness but it’s not weighty.

The cooler temperatures allowed for an extended \"hang time,\" with harvest concluding on March 27th. This gradual, even ripening has endowed the 2024 wines with a level of flavour complexity and aromatic precision that is truly distinctive. Our Chardonnays show a modest and welcome increase in volume and focus, while the Pinot Noirs possess the deep concentration and structural \"spine\" that ensure they will evolve magnificently in the cellar for years to come. In summary, 2024 is a vintage of balance and power—a testament to the slow, cool ripening that makes Bass Phillip one of the world's most unique sites for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. \u003cstrong\u003e- \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBass Phillip on 2024 Vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Raleway, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\"Phillip Jones handcrafted tiny quantities of superlative pinot noir which, at its best, had no equal in Australia.
