This is grown at Leongatha South, South Gippsland, Victoria. Bass Phillip uses close planting, extremely low cropping, no toxic chemicals, & natural winemaking. We respect the forces of nature, driven by the Moon, the Planets, and the Earth. This wine always has intensity, full natural acidity and great length. It will develop over the next eight years plus. Normally Estate chardonnay was matured in approximately 20% new oak. It has aromas of Lifted citrus & stone fruit. Well balanced, vibrant fruit and great acid structure. Subtle notes of toasty oak underlay, creating a well rounded palate. By Bass Philip Wines Official Website.
Gippsland’s most famous/esteemed producer. Chardonnay from Leongatha. Straw-yellow and despite its low-ash alcohol, ripped with flavour. There’s no need to wait on this; it’s pretty much in its drinking prime now. It tastes of white peach and cashew, oak spice and almonds. It’s both textural and energetic, the finish full of running. There’s a slightly oxidative note here but it works well in the context of the wine. It’s quite beautiful drinking, it must be said. By Campbell Mattinson @ Wine Front, Sep 2018. |
