Founded in 1979 by Phillip Jones, Bass Phillip has become Australia’s most revered specialist in Pinot Noir, with a global reputation for producing wines of Burgundian finesse and longevity. Now under the stewardship of Jean-Marie Fourrier (of Domaine Fourrier in Gevrey-Chambertin) alongside a dedicated local team, the estate continues to pursue low-yield viticulture, meticulous vineyard work, and minimal-intervention winemaking. All vineyards are farmed organically, with many practices inspired by biodynamics, ensuring wines that capture both purity and site character.

Bass Phillip remains a benchmark for Australian Pinot Noir, often compared with the finest examples from Burgundy. The Estate bottling is a gateway into the house style—layered, graceful, and ageworthy—while representing exceptional value relative to the rarefied single-vineyard releases.
