BASS PHILLIP - BIN 17K Pinot Noir 2016/2017

The BASS PHILLIP Bin 17K Pinot Noir hails from the ‘backyard’ vines of Phillip Jones’ Gippsland operation. There are 17,000 close planted vines, from which this Pinot draws its name.

With raspberry and red cherry aromatics mingling with herb and savoury aromas, there is also a hint of spice. That red fruit carries on to the palate for a plush, concentrated mouthfeel, and a long, mineral finish.

Tightly structured and complex, this is at once sweet and savoury. The purity of fruit speaks to the Bass Phillip reputation for exemplary Pinot Noir.

Made in a simple and traditional manner, with low-cropped vineyards, no irrigation and minimal intervention in the winery,  the wines of BASS PHILLIP display flavours which are characteristic of the region and their individual vineyards.

Deep mineral-rich soils, natural high humidity, and cooler temperatures in South Gippsland is also part of the magic that delivers the length, complexity, flavors, balanced acidity, and natural minerality to BASS PHILLIP wines.

Combined with Phillip Jones’s undivided attention to detail in the vineyards  and winery, and an insatiable passion for quality wine experiences, BASS PHILLIP  produces extraordinary wines one vintage after another.
