[SOLD-OUT] Bass Phillip Premium Pinot Noir 2021

 

**Very Limited. Only 2 per customer**

 

"Glace cherries and savory, dusty notes greet the nose initially but also showing hints of vanilla and spice; refined and poised at this stage but rest assured complexity will crescendo with time. The palate is svelte and satiny, lovely balance, resolved and complete with lovely length that will only get better with age. If drunk young we recommend decanting for an hour or so.

Our Premium Pinot is a selection of only the very best barrels of which 38% were new this year. All barrels are light toasted and extra tight grain oak. Barrels are topped and checked regularly. Wine stays in barrel for 14 months, when it’s simply gravity decanted off lees via a spigot inserted at the bottom of the barrel to a blending tank. No fining of any sort, or filtration before bottling.

The story of Bass Phillip starts back in the early 1970’s when the first vineyard site, located 15 kilometres south of Leongatha, was selected to plant vines based on climatic and topographical observations which when combined with South Gippsland’s moderating influences of the mountains to the north and ocean to the south, produces the perfect conditions for long, slow ripening of grapes." - Bass Phillip
