2020 Bass Phillip Estate Pinot Noir

From the original Estate vineyard; 8,500 vines/hectare; specific plot cropping at approx. one tonne/acre, often blended with the best fruit from our Leongatha Vineyard.

Bottled without fining or filtration.

The exquisitely balanced single vineyard Estate Pinot Noir draws fruit from the extremely low cropping, closely spaced north easterly facing, four hectare un-irrigated vineyard. The wine is vinified in an open stainless steel fermenter with regular plunging to extract colour and flavour.

After fermentation the wine is gravity racked into a combination of new (60%) and old French Alliers oak for a maturation period of around 15 to 18 months.

Tasting Note: Wine with attractive, rich fruits in the mid-palate, with the strength to improve up to ten years in the cellar. 

Origin: Victoria, Australia

Blend: Pinot Noir
