Icon pedigree, estate price đŸ·đŸŒż

Bass Phillip is one of Australia’s most revered Pinot Noir producers, with its Premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay recognised as Classified (Second Growth) in the Langton’s Classification. But for those wanting to experience the house style without the 'premium' price tag, the Estate Pinot Noir is your ticket in.

The 2021 vintage shows exactly why this Gippsland-based icon has a cult following: fine-boned structure, red berries, earthy spice, and signature fine tannins. It’s elegant, expressive, and full of quiet power—made with the same obsessive attention to detail as its higher-tier siblings.

For Pinot lovers, this is a seriously good bottle from one of Australia’s greatest Pinot names—without having to break the bank... too much.

What the experts say about this wine

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.

Medium full ruby with a tinge of purple; the aromas are of red fruits, the profile lean and elegant, with bountiful drying tannins, and touches of foresty pinot mystery. The wine is lean and drying on the aftertaste. Nice elegant wine, worth a little cellaring also.
