{"product_id":"2024-bass-phillip-estate-pinot-noir","title":"2024 Bass Phillip Estate Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cp\u003eBass Phillip remains the absolute pinnacle of Australian Pinot Noir, with Burgundian icon Jean-Marie Fourrier now guiding the legacy of this close-planted South Gippsland estate. Working alongside the original vineyard team, Fourrier continues to champion the ultra-low yields and meticulous, soil-driven farming that made Bass Phillip famous worldwide. This 'estate' release is designed to offer a purer, site-focused look at their iconic Leongatha vineyards. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 growing season was a true year of patience, defined by cold winds during flowering and a cool, damp summer that slowed the ripening of the fruit down to a crawl. Harvest was pushed all the way out to late March, allowing the small crop to build exceptional flavor complexity and aromatic precision. This is the first vintage processed entirely in the new, state-of-the-art Kardella winery, where traditional destemming and minimal handling preserved the vintage's deep concentration and serious structural framework.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is tight but highly intricate, showing red cherry accents, rose petals, charred radicchio, and a complex dusting of savory spice. The palate is structurally dense, firm, and deliberately closed in its youth, matching its concentrated core of wild berry fruit with exceptionally fine, chalky tannins and a driving spine of natural acidity. This is a serious, coiled, and architectural release of this wine, built arguably more mid-term cellaring than for immediate drinkability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bass Phillip","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44273278386219,"sku":"2024 Bass Phillip Estate Pinot Noir","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2023BassPhillipEstatePinotNoir_d3318a8e-bbb9-4464-b0ec-77557dac9609.webp?v=1782974594","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-bass-phillip-estate-pinot-noir","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
