- TASTING NOTE: "A rich gold hue, Bass's Estate Chard shows a quiet power. It commences with gentle aromas of lemon, melon rind, and toast, with a little seashell reduction. The palate is beautifully textured—satiny and mouthfilling—with a cream-and-toast underbelly. Currently on the shy side, this could age for a decade or more but would make for elegant food pairing now." 94 Points -Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast
- ABOUT THE WINE: 2019 was the final vintage of bass Phillip's original proprietor and winemaker Phillip Jones.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The story of Bass Phillip starts back in the early 1970's when the first vineyard site, located 15 kilometres south of Leongatha, was selected to plant vines based on climatic and topographical observations which when combined with South Gippsland's moderating influences of the mountains to the north and ocean to the south, produces the perfect conditions for long, slow ripening of grapes. Our other 7.5-hectare vineyard was then planted in 1998 primarily with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay but also some small plantings of Gewurztraminer and Nebbiolo, all on a north facing slope, in Leongatha's hinterland, increasing our overall area of vines to just over 10 hectares. Our wines reflect our vines and their terroir, which is enhanced by our close planted, low cropping, old vines with only the use of natural processes and sprays, no irrigation and meticulous canopy management, culminating to produce wines of depth, length and complexity.
