Score 94/100 · Drink 2025-2034, Josh Raynolds, Sep 2022
Shimmering straw-gold. A suave, highly aromatic bouquet features tangerine, pear nectar, iodine, buttered toast and fresh fig qualities, and vanilla and floral notes emerge as the wine opens up. Well-concentrated and focused on the palate, with a core of juicy acidity bracing powerful citrus and orchard fruit, honeysuckle, buttered toast and saffron flavors. Rich but refreshingly lithe, delivering superb finishing clarity and floral-accented persistence.

About the producer
Bass Phillip
Bass Phillip has been quietly making world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Leongatha, South Gippsland, since the 1990s. The estate’s wines were long sold almost exclusively in Australia, meaning that the producer remains relatively little-known beyond its native shores.
