Bass Phillip owes its name to George Bass and Arthur Phillip - men of great pioneering spirit, foresight and leadership in the 19th century. Bass Phillip vineyards were first established many years later, in southeastern Australia, in 1979, specializing in high-quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines.

About

Bass Phillip wines are endowed with vibrant fruit and considerable delicacy, and evolve and develop dramatically with aeration in a swirling glass or decent decanting. They are never excessive in tannin or alcohol in their youth, and with age they blossom gracefully to develop an intensity of flavor on the finish framed by strong minerality and natural acidity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the benefit of opening this 2019 now rather than letting it age longer?

Bass Phillip describes its young wines as having vibrant fruit, then highlights how the finish develops with age. This offers two ways to approach the tasting, but does not establish a precise drinking window for this 2019 Gewurztraminer.

Is it better to drink it right away or give it some time in the glass?

Give it time to express itself: the winery highlights how much its wines evolve when exposed to air. Taste it once, gently swirl the glass, then return to it to see what emerges.

Should I focus mainly on the fruit or the minerality in this white wine?

Both are useful reference points, but their expression may evolve. The winery’s description emphasizes the fruit in its youth, followed by a more intense finish, framed by minerality and natural acidity as the wine ages.

Is this a wine to choose for a sensation of high alcohol?

That is not the direction Bass Phillip describes, noting that its wines are not excessively alcoholic in their youth. The intensity comes more from the flavor and lingering finish than from alcoholic warmth.

Do the tasting notes describe this 2019 Gewurztraminer specifically?

They present the general style of Bass Phillip wines, rather than a detailed tasting of this bottle. They offer useful guidance on aeration and evolution, but do not allow us to assign specific aromas to the 2019 or claim that it is superior to another vintage.
