The classically styled, Bass Phillip Premium Pinot Noir shows beautiful, black cherry, floral and gamey aromas, supple, velvety tannins, underlying smoky oak and great length of flavour. The fruit is sourced from the low cropping low-input four hectare north-east facing vineyard at Leongatha. Ageing takes place in French oak for 12 to 18 months depending on vintage. The Premium’s ‘hidden power’ is revealed after around five years of bottle age.
