2024 Bass Phillip Pinot Noir
2024 Bass Phillip Pinot Noir
The Bass Phillip range has gone from strength to strength, with great reliability and wines that have not just power, but a sexy, silky enrapturing and ethereal nature. They also have a slightly tightly wound style and a more apparent youthfulness than the previous regime; wines that beg for cellaring against my strong desire get stuck in to them now! Cheers, Randall.
"[..] Painstaking site selection, ultra-close vine spacing and the very cool climate of South Gippsland are the keys to the magic of Bass Phillip and its eerily Burgundian pinots. One of Australia’s greatest small producers, it's been heading down a new path since Jones sold the assets (winery, stock and 14ha of vineyards) in May '20 to a syndicate led by Burgundian winemaker Jean-Marie Fourrier (who has known Jones for 14 years)."

"[..] These are exciting wines that further lift the already established reputation of this domaine. While I baulk at nominating anyone as Australia’s best pinot noir producer, I would not argue with those who claim that mantle for Bass Phillip." HUON HOOKE

While the 2023 season was characterized by a swifter ripening process, 2024 was a year of patience. 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.

"An elegant style, almost gentle with every element from fruit and acidity to tannins neatly in place. It’s a complete wine. Red cherry accents, rose petals, charred radicchio and a host of spices for good measure. It continues to unfurl beautifully in the glass. As seamless as it gets thanks to superfine tannins and a powder puff of acidity." 95 Pts. - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion
2024 Reserve Pinot Noir
Offer: $870 | 1 Bottle
"This legendary label can celebrate its status as producing arguably the most unique pinot noir wines in Australia. Few come close to the level of detail and quality but, more significantly, they are distinctive as they truly have a sense of place. These old vines talk. Taking in the aromas and flavours, you can’t help but think, ‘Gee this is a Bass Phillip wine.’ There’s a concentration and depth of flavour here; complex, rich yet seemingly ethereal. Full bodied, with remarkable tannin structure and lithe acidity. You finish the elixir knowing it’s one of our great wines."
