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 2021 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

My, my, what a wine with its depth and structure as much as its beauty and ethereal qualities. While there are the usual dark cherries and heady aromas of baking spices, there’s very much a savoury edge to this. Fuller bodied with an abundance of richness and stately raw-silk tannins. This is complex, superbly balanced and built to last a long time. But gee, it's compelling now.
