No wallflower as it’s rich, ripe, full-bodied and laden with aromas and flavours of dark cherries, florals, joss sticks, chinotto, baking spices and garrigue. Raw silk tannins flood the palate, so too the sweet fruit; concentrated and powerful, yet there’s a succulence and vitality within.

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).\" \u003cstrong\u003eJAMES HALLIDAY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\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\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\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\"[..] These are exciting wines that further lift the already established reputation of this domaine.
