Australia’s answer to Burgundy 🍷✨

Bass Phillip is one of Australia’s most iconic Pinot Noir producers, with the Premium sitting just beneath the flagship Reserve—recognised as Classified (Second Growth) in Langton’s Classification and consistently sought after by collectors.

The 2023 vintage is a masterclass in cool-climate precision: wild strawberry, dark cherry, forest floor and spice, wrapped in vibrant acidity and those signature silken tannins. It’s elegant, expressive, and quietly powerful—built to age, but already showing incredible depth.

For serious Pinot lovers, this is a benchmark bottle from a cult Gippsland producer—one that rewards time, attention, and a spot in the cellar.

What the experts say about this wine

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
