Bass Phillip

Established in 1979 by winemaker Phillip Jones, this iconic winery in South-Gippsland was named after legendary Australian explorers George Bass and Arthur Phillip. With a focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Bass Philip is regarded as the pinnacle of Pinot Noir producers in Australia. Twice awarded 'Australia's Best Pinot Noir', the 2012 Bass Philip Reserve Pinot Noir scored 99 points; the highest noted score for a dry red table wine by James Halliday.

Practicing organic viticulture since 1993 and further committing to biodynamic since 2002, the non-irrigated vines are restricted, producing concentrated flavorful_berries. A non-intervention form of winemaking eschews the use of toxic spray in the vineyard while in the winery, wild yeast fermentation and minimal additions, fining or filtration results in rich, complex wines brimming with aromatics and a generous mouth feel.
